rowdiness

Loud, unruly conduct

Rowdiness is rough, noisy, disorderly behavior—the quality of being rowdy.

It suggests boisterous energy that may verge on unruliness: The rowdiness of the crowd got the bar shut down.

The word often describes groups rather than individuals, implying collective disruption.
