squeal
High shrill noise
Squeal is a high-pitched, prolonged cry or sound—the noise a pig makes, or a child in excitement, or brakes that need replacing.
To squeal is to make such a sound: The tires squealed as the car took the corner.
In slang, to squeal is to inform on someone to authorities: He squealed to the cops about the whole operation.
