Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Tool
 	SCENE 	Leela welcomes the viewer while whispering, as she has just put her baby niece Nila to sleep. Telly and Elmo come by and talk loudly until hushed by Leela. They realize that Sesame Street is full of loud noises that could possibly wake Nila up as they almost did and become the "Noise Patrol," who will keep surrounding noise to a minimum. They get some tools to help listen (binoculars and a megaphone), until Leela points out those won't help and their "ear tools" are the only things that will. They listen and shoo off a noisy bird and motorcyclist. They then hear the sound of a basketball...
 	SCENE cont'd 	...being dribbled by Horatio, who thinks the distance between him and Nila is large enough that his bouncing won't wake her. Telly frets that his bouncing will attract more animals, leading to a animal basketball game. Just as he predicts, a monkey (Carmen Osbahr), lion and tiger (John Kennedy) show up and start a noisy game until Telly tackles the players. Nila manages to sleep through the noise and the animals head to the park to continue their game. Now, the Noise Patrol hears some music...
 	SCENE cont'd 	...coming from Grover's boombox, which he's using to breakdance with. They try to get his attention, but he can't hear them over the music. They decide to dance too, hoping he'll notice them, but he instead tries to school his competition. Telly accidentally sets the music louder before shutting it off completely. Nila is surprisingly still asleep and Grover chides them for setting the music so loud around a sleeping baby. Grover, dubbing himself "Grand Monster Flash," puts on his headphones and dances off. Now, they hear hammering....
 	SCENE cont'd 	...by a construction worker (Joey Mazzarino) nearby. They point out sleeping Nila, who he deems as an "occupational hazard" and continues hammering away. Telly makes sure he won't use the jackhammer and accidentally starts it up, dragging him out of control. Nila remains asleep and the worker heads off for his lunchbreak, bringing his noise to halt. There's no other noise around, which relieves Telly. However, he accidentally bangs the handle on the carriage, causing Nila to wake up and cry. In despair, Telly tries to get the area quiet so she can go back to sleep, but Leela stops him, claiming noise can actually help in falling asleep. She sings a lullaby to Nila about soft and calming sounds, which puts her, and the monsters, to sleep.
