In the sentence please be quiet you are being too noisy would use a comma or semi colon between and you?

You would use a comma between "and" and "you".

Here's why:

* Comma after introductory phrase: The phrase "please be quiet" acts as an introductory phrase. A comma is generally used to separate introductory phrases from the main clause.

* Conjunctive adverb: The word "and" is a coordinating conjunction that joins two independent clauses. Commas are typically used before coordinating conjunctions when joining independent clauses.

Correct Sentence: Please be quiet, and you are being too noisy.
