Russian term

подавать голос

Russian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature children's literature
- А-у-у! А-у-у! – услышала она. Видно, кто-то заблудился в тумане и подавал голос.

Подскажите, please, что-нибудь помимо call out.

calling out..

IMHO calling out is just fine here. It seems that someone had gotten lost in the fog and was calling out (for help).

\"While we were standing there talking, those gentlemen came down the road hallooing for Jeff Davis. Margaret Sigman, Logan\'s sister, came out saying they were hallooing for Jeff Davis now.

was crying out

I don't think there's anything wrong with calling, but this is an alternative.

to give a voice signal (here)

prob. too neutral, but understandable.
Otherwise it can bring the same problem as, say, "myau" (in Russian) or dog's "gav-gav" (in Russian) which have different rendering in English :-))
