grrr
Sound of irritation
Grrr is a written representation of a growl, expressing frustration, anger, or playful aggression.
It mimics the sound an animal makes when threatened or annoyed.
In casual writing and texting, it conveys irritation without full seriousness: Grrr, my phone died again.
The number of r's may vary for emphasis.
