How do you handle dugout chirping?

Tonight I was asked repeatedly, "Where was that pitch?"
I also overheard the coaches wondering why I wasn't giving their pitchers the same calls the other team got.

I usually indicate location by moving my head. If a pitch is inside to a left handed hitter I pause turn my head to the right and say ball. Etc Etc Etc...

Most people in the stands have no clue, but a coach who knows the game and has seen me work knows what I'm doing and for the most part I rarely hear the, "where was that at?" Same people say not to do it, but it's my style and it's got me to where I am today.

Chirping from the dugout is nothing. Unless they question my integrity. For the most part chirping is apart of the game...heck the fans are good at it. =)
