bray
Harsh equine call
Bray is the loud, harsh cry of a donkey—that distinctive hee-haw sound.
The word extends to similarly grating noises: His laugh was more of a bray.
To bray is to make such a sound, whether you're a donkey or a person speaking loudly and unpleasantly: He brayed his opinions at anyone who would listen.
