When they make the possibly loud "chirp, chirp" sound at you, or around in general, you should respond in kind. That's their contact call. Every budgie's is different, though birds from the same flock tend to have more similar ones. They recognize each other on an individual level from the contact call; as I understand, it's a somewhat important flock dynamic.
I just say "chirp, chirp" right back at them, stressing the first syllables. You'll know it's worked when they do the call again right after you.
