outscreaming

Drowning out vocally

Outscreaming is screaming louder or longer than someone or something else: The crowd was outscreaming the band's amplifiers.

It can be literal competition in volume or figurative dominance—one voice, message, or sensation drowning out another: Her anxiety was outscreaming every rational thought.
