Common ways of doing this involve repeatedly making a loud or unusual sound, or a physical action such as touching someone repeatedly in a particular way. One technique children are fond of is doing or saying something repeatedly until the target (usually a parent) gets so exasperated that they give in to what's wanted, if only to get the noise to stop.
