Growling or growl is a low, guttural vocalization produced by predatory animals as a warning to others, as a sign of aggression, or to express anger.

Grrr is an onomatopoeic word which imitates the growling sound of predatory animals, and is often used with other, related meanings. It is one of the rare pronounceable words of the English language that consists solely of consonants. Its most simple use is by children imitating animals, "Mommy, look I'm a lion, Grrr!". The word "Grrr" is widely used in various titles to express growling.
