stridulent

"Good morning, little stranger," roared Peter's stridulent machine.

The prayer stopped abruptly, and, after a momentary silence, the dolorous wail of a small organ abetted a stridulent concourse of human voices lifted in lamentable song, a song in which they were desirous of being winged like the dove.

In larger numbers, and with cries more stridulent, as his comrades come forth out of the cave, one after another—yawning, and stretching their arms.

It was the hour of evening, when these birds become especially stridulent.

"Oh, Davy, you'll kill us!" laments the housekeeper, for the little orguinette is stridulent and loud.
