What does YAPPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Given to yapping; barking sharply and repeatedly, or talking incessantly in an irritating way.

It carries a note of mild annoyance, suggesting noise that is persistent rather than loud. The comparison between a yappy dog and a yappy talker is common enough that both uses feel natural.
