If your child has a noisy toy without a volume control, place a piece of masking tape or a Band Aid over the speaker to muffle the sound.
My son recently heard a stranger cursing in a department store. Now he has started repeating what he heard. How can I make him stop?
It depends on your child's age, but try explaining to him that those words are mean and inappropriate for him to say. If you think he understands this, then offer a consequence if he does it again.
