• Related怒号どごうWrittenAn angry roar, also of raging wind and waves; a written-style word whose emotion is anger, not the excited cheering of 「喚声」.

Use 「喚声」 for a shout bursting out of surprise or excitement, as in 「喚声が上がる」. For shouting in general pick 「叫び声」; for a scream of fear or pain, 「悲鳴」; for crowd cheering, 「エール」. Others differ in emotion or register: 「わめき声」 noisy yelling, 「絶叫」 screaming at full volume, 「咆哮」/「怒号」 angry roars, 「大喝」 a rebuke, 「号泣」 loud weeping; 「沈黙」 and 「静寂」 are the opposites.
