"Skirl"
This is a great word that does not get used enough. "A shrill sound, as of a bagpipe." I know lots of women whose voices . . . well, we shall let that alone.
Reminds me of Molly and Kathryn in their younger youth...Upon hearing Bing Crosby (and Crosby-esque singers')recordings, which often employed female background singers, they began to identify them as "the shrill ladies," and were amused and fascinated by them at the same time. It was a tag that stuck. The shrill ladies. Hilarious.
