Answer:

Sounds build fear and distress in the reader that the people are feeling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calls the shrills, beats, and wails of alarms.

They make us imagine what the alarms sound like. It builds the fears in the community while making the reader feel the social alarm of the time and place.

They say they are noisy animals to protect them from society.
