squawker
One who protests
A squawker is someone or something that squawks—makes harsh, loud, abrasive sounds.
The word applies to complaining people, noisy birds, and cheap speakers or radios that produce grating audio: Turn off that squawker.
In electronics, a squawker is specifically a mid-range speaker driver, handling frequencies between the woofer and tweeter.
