I teach a lot of big lectures. People make noises. You lose the audience if you go all cap'n queeg, as Angus notes. Perhaps it is just to yell at the kid, but it's idiotic.
Make a joke about it or something. "Dude, I was up all night with your sister, but you don't hear ME yawning. Man up!" Has some of the same effect, and it gets the audience on your side. Losing your cool like Cornell boy is just dumb.

Culture is a suckie heuristic - it makes you act like an A-hole.
