The word shrill can be used both as an adjective and as a verb. When you are using the term as an adjective it conveys the idea about certain sounds and voices that are very high and loud. A shrill voice is usually considered as an unpleasant one. Sometimes you van use the term for anything that is loud and determined but usually the determination is not reasonable. Given below is a sentence that can help you if you want to use the word in this context: Our company is not going to listen to the shrill demands of the labour union.

When the word is being used as verb, it conveys the same idea as that of the adjective and describes a very high and unpleasant sound. The synonymous term that you can use to convey the same idea is 'shriek'.
