Which one does the setter mean?

Six squares is UPROAR. It is the only common word that means precisely this, and with a six-letter slot clued hubbub it is very hard to be anything else. Eight squares is BROUHAHA.

How these differ

The three are the same idea at three volumes. UPROAR is a crowd being loud, usually in anger. BROUHAHA is French by way of nothing anybody can agree on, and implies fuss and publicity rather than real trouble: a brouhaha blows over. KATZENJAMMER is German for the wailing of cats, arrived in English through a comic strip, and means both a din and the hangover that follows one.
