hubbub

After that came a great hubbub of excitement.

But the children’s cries were lost in the hubbub.

Luckily, the din attracted the notice of the staff, who came rushing to the rescue, and in the hubbub Penelope was finally able to run up to the nursery.

The hubbub last year over the Russell Brand photo illustrates that, right?

In the latter, another youngster emerges from a chaotic throng of people, standing apart from the hubbub while carrying a stack of books, suggesting that education offered opportunities to escape these harried circumstances.
