What's the English word for the high-pitched sound and the phenomenon which leads to it? In Romanian it's called "microphony", but I don't know whether it's the same in English.

Nice one, Doc.
Yes, it's feedback, or a 'feedback loop' -- so named because the sound from the mic 'comes out' of the speaker, back into the mic, is amplified back through the speaker, back into the mic.......and on and on until you move the mic. Continuously re-amplifying the signal.

It is called "acoustic feedback". In slang, it's sometimes referred to as "howl-round"

If it's in a bar, it's called Karaoke :-)
