rooster call

Barnyard morning alarm

The loud crowing sound a rooster makes, especially at dawn.

The rooster call traditionally signals daybreak in rural settings and has become a cultural symbol of early morning: We woke to the rooster call at 5 a.m.

Also called a cock-a-doodle-doo in English, though actual rooster calls vary in their transcription across languages.
