A whistle from the crowd is not an expected noise. I would have blown my whistle to stop play to prevent any violations from occuring (think when a free thrower loses the ball), then have the PA guy do his thing.
Now if I am in a gym or field house where two or more games are going on, too bad, so sad.
However, I would have counted the violation and moved on, but I see no problem in how you handled it.
