taru-adjective, adverb taking the 'to' particle
Describes a loud, uproarious sound, often used for criticism, protest, or boisterous noise. Typically appears in the form ごうごうと or as a たる adjective.

騒々しい is a common i-adjective meaning 'noisy' or 'boisterous' for general loudness, while ごうごう is more literary and emphasizes a roaring, uproarious quality, often used for collective outcry.
Reduplication of 轟 (ごう), an onomatopoeic element representing a roaring sound. The exact derivation is uncertain, but it is related to mimetic words for loud noises.
