hirrient - adj., (of a sound) heavily trilled.


As in a cricket's call -- and indeed it's not clear to me whether it's ever used for any other sound. Can also be used as a noun, but frankly that sounds odd to me. I believe pronounced with three syllables, but I'm not honestly sure as I've only ever seen it in writing.
