grunter
Noisy barnyard animal
A grunter is someone or something that grunts—makes low, throaty sounds.
Pigs are quintessential grunters.
In fishing, grunter refers to various fish species that produce grunting sounds when caught.
The term applies to anyone who grunts habitually: weightlifters, tennis players, or someone straining under effort.
The gym was full of grunters.
