'''Shouting''' is an ability available to every player and most [[monsters]]. It creates a [[noise]] with a default loudness of 12.<ref>{{source ref|0.22.0|player.cc|5501}}</ref> Players can shout by pressing '''[[t]]''', then '''t''' again. It is not possible to shout when [[silence]]d.

== Strategy ==
Shouting is roughly as loud as the loudest melee attacks, and roughly half as loud as a [[scroll of noise]]. Keep in mind that in some [[branch]]es, sounds such as shouting may travel more or less distance. More information can be found in the [[noise]] article.

A player might shout to lure a few monsters from a group, although doing so from the wrong position bring an army down on you (e.g., don't shout in a place with multiple unknown paths and no safe retreat path). Like most in-game tactics, the benefits of shouting are situational. It is rarely done if aiming to get sleep [[stab]]s, but is relatively safe on [[stair]]s due to the retreat option stairs provide.

Monsters will often shout the moment they become aware of you; if you're concerned about the possibility of reinforcements, you may wish to retreat from enemies that shout near unexplored areas, luring the shouter away from anything that may have heard its cry. Also, bear in mind that your attacks and spells are often noisy in and of themselves.

Note that the other commands accessed through the '''t''' menu do ''not'' make noise.

==History==
* Prior to [[0.19]], ally commands weren't silent. Also, the player couldn't command allies while [[Silence]]d.
