One technique you could use is to demonstrate the annoying-ness of the character by making the other characters reactions show their annoyance. What the other characters find annoying need not be annoying to the reader, the reader might even appreciate it. For example, frequently asking questions that "should be obvious" but that the reader might not know otherwise. Or critiquing other characters in a way that sheds light on that character and helps develop them. Complaining about something that the reader would not otherwise know was a problem. Comedic relief to break the tension.

Other characters reactions can be varied, as long as they show annoyance. Simply ignoring this character might work sometimes, complaining to each other about her obnoxiousness, telling her to be quiet -- as long as it makes sense for their character. This is the part that is really going to make the reader understand that your character is annoying, so focus the details here rather than on the annoying person herself.
