Sometimes, when Freddie's talking to the audience or sending messages for the press or things like that, you can hear John or Brian playing some funny noise in order to get him back to business. But who is it? Brian or John?

Are you referring to the "duck" noise?

It happens here, for example: Earls Court 77, before Death on Two legs. . I think it's Brian, but I'm not sure.

Are you talking about Brian's guitar. . . . during Freddies intro?
If so, That song was recorded and usually played in drop D. It means the guitars lower E string has to be re tuned to D. Brian used to do this during Freddie's intro. You may have heard him strumming a few strings to be certain he was in tune.
FBG is also played in drop D another song which required re tuning during Freddies's intro. On the Q+ tours Brian has used a second RS guitar ( usually a Fryer guitar called George Burns, but sometimes a green Guyton guitar, which is already tuned to drop D

They (Brain and Roger, but mostly Roger) also do noises when Freddie says something they agree with, like live at the bowl "I'm positively knackered *Bang Bang* i can tell you"
Roger also tries to hit the drum at Freddies highest Eh Oh note.

Thanks for your answers! I've always thought they were "talking" to Freddie, but maybe there were times when it was just Brian tuning his guitar.

There's also a moment in Rock Montreal where Freddie tells the audience they can take off their clothes, at which point John starts playing the Under Pressure bass line and Roger chimes in with the drums.
