EN: To chirp, to squeak
The sound a baby chick makes. Also, the sound you make when you accidentally step on a LEGO brick in the dark. It's that high-pitched, short 'Eep!' of surprise or pain. Not a full-blown scream, just a 'piyak'.
Usually associated with small animals like chicks or mice, but can be used for a person's short, high-pitched cry.
