In an anime, when s character gets angry, they might show it by drawing
a "battle aura" around that character. But if you were actually nearby
someone who became angry, how would you be able to tell? By detecting a
"battle aura"? Not bloody likely. Your description of the sound Akane
makes is very well done; it works well in the scene, and might be enough
to evoke what you need to on its own. If not, think about what other
sensory clues would be present if the scene were actually happening (as
opposed to being shown in an anime.)
Actually, in the Ranmaverse battle auras explicitly _are_ visible.
In the "battle" between Genma and Happi in volume seven, their giant
auras were filmed and shown on TV!
