Shouting

Shouting is the act of speaking loudly, often beyond normal conversation levels, typically to gain attention, express strong emotions, or ensure one's message is heard over noise or distance. It involves increasing vocal volume and intensity, which can convey urgency, anger, excitement, or frustration. While sometimes useful, frequent shouting can strain relationships and misunderstandings. It engages the auditory system more intensely and may trigger physiological responses such as increased heart rate. Overall, shouting is a vocal behavior that emphasizes volume to communicate more forcefully, but using it appropriately is important for effective and respectful communication.
