fractura de sonido

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Buenas noches,

Ustedes podrían, por favor, ayudarme a traducir "fractura de sonido" en la siguiente oración?

Oración: "Le grito al público que qué pasaba con una voz que le salía del alma, una fractura de sonido pegajoso".

Contexto: esta oración se encuentra en un cuento que trata sobre un escritor de poemas y aquí se encuentra presentando una de sus obras a un público, pero estos no le estaban poniendo mucha atención.

Muchas gracias

a cry caught in his throat

A cry seems like a possibility for "fractura de sonido" and the adjective "pegajoso", which in this context probably isn't referring to the catchiness of a tune or song, still carries some of the catchy/sticky connotation in this translation.
