Walla
In American radio, film, television, and video games, walla is a sound effect imitating the murmur of a crowd in the background. A group of actors brought together in the post-production stage of film production to create this murmur is known as a walla group.

Nowadays, walla actors make use of real words and conversations, often improvised, tailored to the languages, speech patterns, and accents that might be expected of the crowd to be mimicked. Rhubarb is used instead in the UK where actors say "rhubarb, rhubarb", in Italy, in Germany, ''rabarber'' in the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) as well as Denmark, Sweden, and Estonia, ''gur-gur'' (''"гур-гур"'') in Russia, and in Japan, perhaps in part reflecting the varying textures of crowd ...
