Etymology

嘩 combines 口 (mouth) with 華, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of flourishing or abundance, suggesting many mouths making noise.

Meaning mnemonic

A mouth 口 beside 華, which suggests something showy or abundant. Imagine a crowd of mouths all talking at once, creating a noisy clamor.

Reading mnemonic

For カ, picture a noisy car horn blaring: car -> カ, and the sound fills the air like the clamor of many voices.
