Can you scream?

[megacomic]

No. I cant either. I can barely even yell.

 

[LadyBird84]

Not very well.

 

[china autie]

Me screaming hurts my ears. Me talking in any voice but a soft one hurts my ears. I carry a whistle for absolute emergencies.

I used to be able to do the Goofy Yell perfectly:

In college, I scared the bejeebers out of some of my friends with that yell.

I can't hit that high, falsetto-type note anymore. <sigh>

 

[AuBurney Tuckerson]

I guess when I'm throwing q fit or.on a meltdown.

 

[inkfingers]

I used to be a pro at screaming, because I had meltdowns so often. I developed an ear-piercing scream that was kind of ugly...

 

[Nervous Rex]

Maybe a Wilhelm scream...

I told my kids about the Wilhelm scream and then pointed it out in a few movies. Now, they say "Wilhelm!" to call it out every time they hear it in a movie.

I can despite having no mouth.

Great title.
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream - Wikipedia

Another title of his that I like is
Shattered Like a Glass Goblin.

LOL. I doubt it. Though I can't say that I've ever tried.

But I can hang my head back and howl and gurgle like a Yorkshire Terrier. Does that count?

And in my youth I could once do a Tarzan yell much like Johnny Weissmuller. Maybe that's close enough.

Aha I have two yorkshire terriers one pased away but he used to do that howl kind of, it was more abrasive than the dog in the videos though. But our puppy makes what we describe as Pigeon noises. Like he's trying to talk to us!!, which i've no doubt he is.

Yes I can,I can very loudly if a sudden noise scares me or I didn’t know that someone was behind and I turn around,I get startled very easily.

I get startled easily, too. I jump a foot in the air very quietly.

This just happened yesterday - I was working around the house and as I bent down, my keys in my pocket got pressed together and it set off the panic button to my car. My car started honking loudly at the same moment my two teenagers were in the garage. They don't react well to loud noises or surprises and they both screamed at the top of their lungs. I don't react well to loud noises and surprises, so that set me on edge. I ran upstairs, closed the bedroom door, and just chilled out quietly for 10 minutes until I was right-in-the-head.

I have nightmares where I'm in trouble but can't scream. I hate those. The one time I did scream in a dream was because I was overloaded with sound, and I woke up amazingly relieved. I haven't tried to scream, though, and am constantly terrified I couldn't do it if I tried. I don't feel secure enough, even screaming into a pillow, to actually try.

 

[onlything]

No. I was always the quiet child and person overall. Easy to miss, easy to forget which is quite ironic since I turned out rather tall. Hard to say though if it was a self-defence mechanism started in childhood or something related to autism.

 

[Stan Z.]

I can't do a high-pitched scream despite the fact that I have a falsetto...ironic, ain't it?

 

[UberScout]

I can despite having no mouth.

I saw that coming a mile away and immediately realized you were quoting Harlan Ellison.

 

[UberScout]

screechy noise

Got it.

 

[Vindicator Phoenix]

I don't think I could scream. When scared, I might curl up and cry, but I wouldn't scream.
