howl

The night before the fire exploded, the eerie howl of the Santa Ana winds kept some awake.

At any of these times, an announcement by the Post that it would not be endorsing – preceding that of the Los Angeles Times – would have brought howls of outrage.

These are air raid sirens, screams and howls.

As with any Budget, as one MP says, "we all have a shopping list", and every squeeze on spending will have an accompanying howl of: how could you?

His reaction to this latest bit of ferocity was downright fierce, an angrily thrown bat and an extended howl.
