If I understand correctly, I will need to provoke the behaviour, ignore it and then reward her only when she goes quiet.
I don't think you want to provoke or encourage her to be vocal per se but perhaps replicate the situation where she would be vocal and if she does grumble, wait for her to finish THEN reward. Maybe a park would be a good start?
