The adjective 'desperate'

[Jesus1]

Can this adjective go with the plural noun “yells” to mean they are “extreme yells”? Would you propose another
one?

EX: I heard my neighbour?s DESPERATE yells and
rushed to phone the police.

Thanks a million!

Today, you look fantastic!

Have a nice day!

Hi Jesus1,

The adjective despearte indicates that something is extreme because there is no hope. It is therefore possible to use it together with yells/screams/cries because it suggests that the person calling out has reached that stage where they seem to have abandoned hope.
