vociferations

Clamorous verbal eruptions

Vociferations are loud, vehement outcries or complaints.

The word suggests prolonged, emphatic shouting rather than a single cry: His vociferations could be heard throughout the building.

The singular vociferation exists but is rare—when someone vociferates, they usually don't stop at one.
