word clamor
definition (1) Noisy shouting; loud, continuous noise. (2) Strong and active protest or demand.
eg_sentence The clamor in the hallways between classes was particularly loud that morning as news of the state championship swept through the student body.
explanation The clamor on Broadway at midday can be astonishing to a tourist from a midwestern town; if they happen to be digging up the street with jackhammers, the clamor can be even worse. The clamor on the floor of a stock exchange goes on without stopping for seven hours every day. A clamor of protest may sometimes be quieter, but is often just as hard to ignore. A politican who receives a thousand e-mails a day clamoring for his resignation might as well be listening to an angry crowd
