How it's used
This term is primarily literary and carries a strong sense of dramatic, intense emotional outburst. It is rarely used in casual daily conversation to describe normal shouting. Using it in everyday speech often sounds overly theatrical or like a line from a period drama.
Examples
He is howling in anger, scaring all the children.

Common phrases
the wind howls angrily
Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with general shouting like 嗌 or 叫. Remember that 怒號 implies a primal, howling quality that is much more extreme and aggressive than simple yelling.
