It's a 'runaway oscillator'.

You've got an amplifier.

To make it an oscillator all you need to do is feed some of the output back
into the input and it will oscillate at its 'resonant frequency'.

The resonant frequency varies depending on a number of factors.

The trick with PA systems is to 'dial out' the room resonant frequency using
a graphic equaliser.
