As per the title, is there a name for the technique where a singer (especially a female one) voices a pitch in the falsetto register on releasing a note?
Examples include:-

- You Oughta Know - particularly at the end of the chorus, "You^ You^ You^ Oughta Know"
- Sinead O'Connor
- Nothing Compares to You - occasionally "since you been gone I can do whatever I wa-aaa-aan^t" around 45s
- Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries
- Zombie (The Cranberries) - constantly... "Z-om-bi^e, Z-om-bi^e, Z-om-bi^e e^eh e^eh e^eh o^oh o^oh" etc
