Etymology
訬 combines 言 (speech) with 少, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest small, sharp, or agitated speech, leading to the idea of clamour or uproar.
Meaning mnemonic
Words (言) that are small (少) in substance but loud in delivery create clamour and annoyance.
Reading mnemonic
For ソウ, imagine the uproar of a crowd sounding like a loud 'sow!' (as in a female pig) — the noise is so annoying it echoes ソウ.
