bawler

One who wails

A bawler is someone who bawls—crying loudly or shouting: The baby was a real bawler during the flight.

The word usually describes someone crying noisily rather than someone yelling, though bawl covers both.

In sports contexts, a bawler may be a coach known for screaming at players or referees.
