ear-piercingly
Shatteringly high-pitched
Ear-piercingly describes sounds so sharp and high-pitched they seem to penetrate the ear painfully.
The adverb intensifies already loud descriptors: an ear-piercingly shrill whistle, the children shrieked ear-piercingly.
Like its parent adjective ear-piercing, the word suggests physical discomfort from volume or pitch.
