IN BRIEF: n. - A loud utterance; A loud utterance of emotion (especially when inarticulate).

To yell out, or to scream in fright, anger, or surprise, is a definite indication of suppressed agitation and frustration in waking life. It could also be a forewarning of a catastrophic event that is forthcoming and perhaps avoidable.
