It's an unsporting conduct violation. And if you feel it caused the server to miss the serve, then regardless of intent, you can replay the point.

I would try to nip it in the bud before it gets to that point, though. Remember the server can be 40 feet or more from people making noise, if you're gonna go there, make it obvious.
