Clamor, clamoris, m., third declension, the noun of clamo, "to shout". It is rarely one man's voice. Most often it is collective noise: an army raising its battle cry, a theatre applauding, a crowd objecting, and from there it shades easily into uproar, protest and mere din.

Clamorem tollere, "to raise a shout", is the standard phrase, and magno clamore in the ablative is how a writer marks any noisy action. The family is large and productive: clamo with prefixes gives acclamo, exclamo, proclamo and reclamo, and English takes clamour, acclaim, exclaim, proclaim and, through Old French, the legal word claim, which is a shout for what you say is yours.
