The angry/warning caw of a crow is sometimes called scolding, I think. It has a wide range of intensity. There were many American crows around my last house. The degree to which they cawed, and in particular started up a chorus, was proportional to the threat. On my normal routine, I would get a few caws, and then they'd settle. If I diverged from my routine and for example, walked off the path, or if I had others with me, it would get a bigger response. And when I let the dog out it was just a flood of angry cawing.
