clamour
Noisy public demand
Clamour is loud, persistent noise or outcry, especially from a crowd expressing demand or protest: The clamour for reform grew louder.
The word suggests urgent, insistent voices rather than mere volume.
To clamour is to make such demands noisily: Reporters clamoured for answers.
The spelling is British; Americans write clamor.
