snarls
Dog's angry sounds
Snarls covers two distinct ideas.
A snarl is a tangle or knot—hair snarls, traffic snarls, yarn snarls: She worked the snarls out of her daughter's hair.
To snarl up is to become entangled or jammed: An accident snarled traffic for hours.
Separately, to snarl is to growl while baring teeth, or to speak in an angry, hostile tone: The dog snarled at the mail carrier; "Get out," he snarled.
