Screeching.

Screeching.

I wish to say, 'with Romany violins and metal on metal screeching to crescendo's at certain points', but I don't know if I could use 'Chillido' for 'screeching'.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Good morning, Seb.

Have you thought of the verb "chirriar"?

  1. Dicho de los pájaros que no cantan con armonía: chillar (? dar chillidos).

  2. Cantar desentonadamente

I agree that chillar or chirriar would be appropriate here. - Gekkosan, Mar 25, 2011

I like gritar. Crescendos, without an apostrophe, is the plural.
