The people around the blind man are embarrassed by his behaviour and tell him to be quiet. But they don't know what it is like to be blind and to have to sit at the roadside every day to beg. So he completely ignores them and shouts even louder than before, determined that he will not stop until Jesus responds to him and Jesus does so as you can read in Luke 18:40-41

Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" "Lord, I want to see," he replied.

Jesus has heard the blind man's shouts and is not upset with him for having done so. Quite the opposite for He has the blind man brought to Him.
