Surprised by the noise, the judge called for silence​.

Explanation:

With the word 'surprise' we use mainly two prepositions: at and by.

The words at, in, of, on and to are examples of prepositions. A word such as a noun, pronoun or gerund following a preposition is said to be the object of the preposition. There are many 'small words' in English such as up, down, and by which we call prepositions. A preposition must have an object (a noun or a pronoun), so it is always related to a noun: across the road, over the wall, up the hill, down the mountain.

Prepositions are very tricky. One has to be very careful in learning and using them. The most challenging thing about prepositions is their use in phrasal verbs.
