• Synonym叫びさけびNeutralA shout or cry, also used figuratively for an outcry or appeal, as in 「平和への叫び」; more abstract than 「叫び声」, which is the sound itself.
• Synonym喚声かんせいNeutralShouts of surprise or excitement, as in 「喚声を上げる」; typically the roar of a crowd crying out together, not one person's voice.
• Synonym叫喚きょうかんWrittenWritten/formal word for loud wailing or howling, often in 「阿鼻叫喚」; it evokes anguish and chaos, whereas 「叫び声」 is a neutral shout.
• Synonymわめき声わめきごえNeutralFrantic, clamorous yelling, whether from anger, fear or pain; it carries a rowdy, uproarious feel that 「叫び声」 lacks.
• Synonym叫声きょうせいWrittenWritten/formal synonym of 「叫び声」 with the same meaning, but used less often.
• Synonym咆哮ほうこうNeutralThe roar or howl of a wild beast, applied figuratively to a person's angry bellow; it stresses an animal-like quality of the sound.

• Synonym大呼たいこWrittenWritten/formal word for shouting or calling out loudly; rare, and it stresses the act of calling rather than fear or anger.
• Related怒号どごうNeutralAn angry roar or shout of rage, as in 「怒号が飛び交う」; it stresses the anger behind the voice, which 「叫び声」 does not.
• RelatedエールNeutralA loanword for collective cheering and encouragement, as in 「エールを送る」; it stresses rooting for someone, not the shout itself.
• Related大喝だいかつWrittenWritten/formal word for a thunderous shout of rebuke, as in 「一喝」; it stresses sternly reprimanding someone with authority.
• Antonym静寂せいじゃくWrittenWritten/formal word for deep silence and stillness; the opposite of the noise of shouting.

For a loud shout or scream in neutral use, say 「叫び声」, as in 「助けを求める叫び声」. Choose 「悲鳴」 for a scream of terror or pain, 「絶叫」 for screaming at the top of your lungs, and 「怒号」 for an angry roar. The opposites are 「囁き」 and 「静寂」.
