Both occurrences use a common feminine singular absolute noun in sound-related clauses. In Ezekiel 1:24 the APB renders “the sound of a tumult” while comparing the moving wings to many waters and a camp; in Jeremiah 11:16 it renders “the sound of a great tumult” as fire is kindled and branches are shattered.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun as “the sound of a tumult” in Ezekiel 1:24 and “the sound of a great tumult” in Jeremiah 11:16. These phrases confirm the verse-level sound imagery rather than isolate a precise English equivalent.
