grr

Texted irritation sound

Grr is a written representation of a growl, expressing frustration, anger, or playful aggression.

It imitates the low, rumbling sound an animal makes when threatened or annoyed.

Online and in texts, it often signals mild irritation rather than genuine menace: Grr, my computer crashed again.
