Colloquial, non-technical alternative of stridulous. May be use of someone exhibiting [stridor] -- a high pitched sound caused by upper-airway [swelling] or [restriction]. Unlike stridulous, this word has more audible and written resemblance to the noun stridor.

Stridor is a gasping sound during inhalation resulting from a partial blockage of the throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), or windpipe (trachea).
Stridor is usually loud enough to be heard at some distance. The sound is caused by turbulent airflow through a narrowed upper airway.
In children, the cause may be

Croup
An inhaled foreign object
An infection of the epiglottis (rare)

In adults, the cause may be

A tumor
An abscess
Swelling (edema) in the upper airway
Vocal cord paralysis or dysfunction
An inhaled foreign object (occasionally)
An infection of the epiglottis (rare)

Stridor that causes shortness of breath when the person is at rest is a medical emergency.
Tumors of the head and neck such as laryngeal cancer can cause stridor if they partially obstruct the upper airway.
When both vocal cords are paralyzed, the space between the paralyzed cords is very small, and the airway is inadequate so that even moderate exertion causes difficulty in breathing and a harsh, high-pitched sound (stridor) with each breath.
Brief episodes of stridor can result when a person inhales a food particle or bit of water into the lungs, causing contraction of the voice box (larynx). If an inhaled foreign object is a likely cause and the person is outside of a hospital, another person, if trained, can sometimes help expel the foreign object. For example, in an adult, the other person may use the Heimlich maneuver.
If a person has stridor and is in a hospital or emergency department, a tube may be inserted through the person
