howl
Mournful canine cry
A howl is a long, loud, mournful cry—the sound wolves and dogs make, or the wail of wind through trees.
People howl in pain, grief, or rage.
To howl is also to laugh uncontrollably: We howled at his impression.
A howl of protest is a loud objection.
The wind howled all night.
Something that's a howl is hilarious.
