clamor

Din of protest

Clamor is loud, sustained noise—especially from a crowd of voices: The clamor of protesters outside the building.

It extends to any urgent collective demand: a clamor for reform, public clamor over rising prices.

To clamor is to make such noise or demands insistently: Fans clamored for an encore.
