Definition
叫嚣 means to clamor aggressively, usually by a group in a confrontational or political setting. It carries a strongly negative connotation of loud, hostile outcry — more specific and formal than general words like 喊 (to shout) or 吵闹 (to make noise). You'll often see it in news or political commentary to describe opposition or enemy actions.
