shouter

A shouter is a person or animal that habitually or loudly vocalizes. In human contexts, shouting can be employed for various purposes, including communication over distance, expressing strong emotions such as anger or excitement, or as part of a performance or ritual. The act of shouting can involve projecting the voice at a higher volume and pitch than normal speech.

In the animal kingdom, shouting, or vocalizations at high volume, serves purposes similar to human shouting. This can include territorial defense, attracting mates, signaling danger, or maintaining group cohesion. The specific sounds and contexts of these vocalizations vary widely across different species. For example, certain birds are known for their loud calls, while primates may use shouts to communicate threats or alarm.

The perception of shouting can be subjective, with what one person considers a loud voice, another might perceive as normal. Social and cultural norms often dictate when and where shouting is considered appropriate or acceptable. In some situations, excessive or inappropriate shouting can be seen as disruptive or aggressive. The physiology behind shouting involves the diaphragm, lungs, and vocal cords working together to produce a powerful sound.
