Something very shocking has happened in front of a large audience! It's so shocking that the audience must immediately discuss amongst themselves how utterly shocked they are by proceedings. Of course, we, the actual audience, don't hear what they're saying— we just hear a low murmur.
May be preceded by an audience-wide Gasp!!
Often happens in a courtroom, when a lawyer or witness has revealed a big twist in the case ("A murmur went through the courtroom..."). It also appears in general crowd scenes (parties, bars, restaurants, stadiums) as ambient noise.
In the business, this is sometimes called "rhubarb," "walla," "watermelon," and "peas and carrots," after the theater trick of using those words because (in theory) they sound like real conversation when mumbled indistinctly. In TV and movies, most recordings are actually of little snippets of pocket dialogue— unfinished phrases related to whatever is going on in the scene. This adds realism to the story, while saving the writers the effort of coming up with complete sentences for bit characters to say.
See Studio Audience. Compare Saying Sound Effects Out Loud. If the camera shows the actual audience the in-universe audience reaction, it's a Reaction Shot.

In an episode of Becker, Becker is facing a malpractice suit. When the plaintiff is on the stand, he identifies Becker as his doctor for the record. Cue the audience gasping and murmuring. Cue Becker telling them to shut up, because it's not like that's a big surprise or anything.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld:
In Maskerade Nanny Ogg, having joined an angry mob in order to divert them from their target, is revealed as the rest of the crowd dissipates to be waving her torch and pitchfork and muttering "Rhubarb... rhubarb..."
Another parody occurs in Interesting Times, where a samurai yells "Itiyorshu! Yutimishu!" — "I tie your shoe, you tie my shoe" was the rhubarb phrase specifically given to extras who were meant to sound like they were speaking Japanese.

Pat, who isn't aware that it's all fake, starts a minor crisis because all the customers are saying "peas and carrots" to simulate chatter and orders this, even though Applebee's doesn't serve 'peas and carrots' as a dish.

Parodied on quite a few episodes of 30 Rock. In "Future Husband," Liz makes it seem as if Jack is in a meeting while on the phone by saying "Rhubarb rhubarb, golf prostate." In another episode, Rob Reiner said "Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, peas-and-carrots, rhubarb" while on a congressional committee board, pretending to be conversing with the people around him after it had been pointed out during that he really had no business being there.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 used "rhubarb," "sassafras" and "peas and carrots" sometimes for crowd scenes; they would usually lampshade what kind of murmuring was going on ("Rhubarb rhubarb journalist rhubarb", "Rhubarb soldier rhubarb defending countries blah blah blah...").

Issue #34 of Marvel's What If? series (first series) was a series of one-page spoofs of the Marvel Universe. One such example was "What if anyone who had been an Avenger had remained an Avenger?" So naturally, just about every Marvel hero shows up upon the call "Avengers Assemble!", with the multi-stemmed word balloon "Watermelon cantaloupe watermelon cantaloupe watermelon cantaloupe" employed to simulate crowd noise.

Also parodied in The Man with Two Brains; when Michael makes his announcement about "being able to put the brains of brilliant people in the bodies of dumb people", the German audience engages in murmuring of this nature. When he asks his host what they're saying, he's informed that it's just "a general murmur," and they're just repeating 'murmur' over and over. When he challenges them to "murmur all you like!", the response is the audience loudly yelling "Murmur Murmur!" at him.

Beautifully parodied in a French and Saunders homage to James Cameron's ''Titanic'', whereby the Ghost Extras embrace their background-filling role by loudly saying "Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb" to one another, and Gary Waldhorn clearly enunciates "Fah fah fah fah fah..." in Received Pronunciation during the dining scene.

In Chrysalis Visits The Hague: This happens occasionally during the hearings, with one problem - the actual gallery is separated from the courtroom by a security window, so the implication of this is that not even the court's own staff can help but comment or react on the revelations.

The Foundation Trilogy: The sound effect of a grumbling audience is used during Hober Mallow's trial to emphasize the fact that he and his prosecutor are having this courtroom debate in front of an audience.

Averted/played for laughs in South Park: crowds often say (quite clearly) "Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble Rabble."
When it's played straight, though, (or as straight as South Park lets something be played straight), crowds will say "peas and carrots". See "Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow " for an example of this.)

Homestar Runner:
Parodied in "DNA Evidence", where Strong Sad calls for attention of a murmuring audience. It's then revealed that the only other person in the room is Homsar, who was somehow making audience noises all by himself.
Also parodied in the Strong Bad Email "parenting", when Homestar imitates a murmuring crowd, which he refers to as being "a one-man hubbub."

Hold it! (Desk Slam!) Happens at every twist in Ace Attorney, usually followed by the judge slamming his gavel and shouting "Order!" Occasionally, some comments from the gallery are actually shown, to indicate whether the public's opinion is hostile to the defense or becoming more sympathetic.

Dimension X:
In episode twenty-two, based on Robert A. Heinlein's "The Roads Must Roll", there's a commotion during the emergency stop as the "roads" halt because of the strike, with indistinct shouting/screaming and sirens in the background.
In episode thirty-one, an adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's "Universe", while Hoyland is describing his heresy in the Control Room, the squadron of soldiers shout and grumble around him. The episode ends with them calling for his death.
In episode fifty, an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's "Nightfall":
While Theremon talks with high priest Sor, the other cultists chant incoherently in the background.
When the astronomers look out to see the cultists on their march to attack the observatory, you can hear shouts from the mob.
Once the eclipse has begun, there is screaming in the background from various characters, even as their final lines are being said. The shouting doesn't end until the music indicates a transition to the Narrator's perspective.

The Goon Show lampshaded this - audience murmurs were always played by the full cast muttering "rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb". Considering that "the full cast" was only three people, and that they would occasionally intersperse the "rhubarbs" with "custard!", the effect was usually unconvincing.

Riders in the Sky's novelty album Riders Go Commercial features the fake ad "Geezer Training Course" to become a background extra in Western films. Part of the class is learning to mumble "rhubarb" and "peas and carrots."
