bellowing

Making thunderous sounds

Bellowing is loud, deep, resonant shouting or roaring—the sound a bull makes, or a person in rage or pain.

The word suggests volume and force rather than words: The coach stood bellowing at the referee.

Engines and storms can bellow too, producing that same low, powerful sound.
