The answer

There is no text that prohibits ululation (zagharid). The basic ruling concerning a woman's voice is that it is not considered 'awrah (private, to be concealed), however, it becomes forbidden if it is arousing or causes temptation, such as by softening or thinning it. Therefore, ululation is not permissible in the presence of those who would derive pleasure from hearing it.
