Depending on context, it can also signal that a conversation has crossed into TMI (too much information) territory.
Often used for
- Pretending not to hear gossip or rumors
- Avoiding spoilers for a movie or show
- Reacting to TMI (too much information)
- Signaling "shh" or asking someone to stop talking
