kickup
A noisy disturbance
A kickup is a commotion or fuss, often involving complaint or protest: There was quite a kickup when they announced the policy change.
The term also refers to a gymnastics or breakdancing move where someone springs from lying down to standing.
In some contexts, a kickup is an illegal payment or rebate—money kicked back to someone.
