When a rider silently passes by my DH he hollers loudly "I'm on your right!" It ususally gets them to look back at him, most say "Oh, sorry, On your left", some laugh, some swear, but it does at least get their attention.

I wear a mirror and see about 95% of the people that pass me, very few startle me, but I've been know to scream (on purpose just to get their attention - it usually startles them) when they pass me silently, and they say, What?? are you ok? And I say, sorry, you scared the crap out of me, sneaking up on me like that.
