It made a whirring, screeching noise that could resemble a growl.
"the young Female" should just be "she regretted it", or "regretting shouting at the creature as it turned" or whatever. It’s best to either use the character’s name, or use she/he, otherwise you risk the reader becoming confused.

Don’t need to say "horror", as the fact that she screamed alone should convey the sense of terror she feels.
