shrieked
Let out scream
Shrieked is the past tense of shriek—to cry out in a high-pitched, piercing voice, usually from fear, pain, or excitement: She shrieked when she saw the spider.
The sound suggests something more intense and less controlled than a scream.
Objects can shriek too: The brakes shrieked as the car skidded.
