You may do as you please, but again I believe safety trumps annoyance (It seems that this is a minority belief here ).
I think yelling robot is no excuse for unsafe practices of moving a robot or moving around your environment in general.

Do you see where I am coming from? There are many similar situations you described above, airports luggage, production lines, and etc. Many production lines had streamline safety to avoid sirens and etc.
