yelping
Making shrill barks
Yelping is the sound of short, sharp cries—the noise a dog makes when hurt or excited: The puppy was yelping at the door.
People yelp too, usually from sudden pain or surprise.
Figuratively, someone who complains loudly and repeatedly might be described as yelping: He kept yelping about the unfair call.
