screechers
Those who shriek
Screechers are things that screech—producing harsh, high-pitched sounds.
The word most often describes birds like parrots or jays, children in playgrounds, or anything else making piercing noises: The screechers in the back seat finally fell asleep.
In informal use, screechers can refer to people who complain loudly or persistently.
