60 decibels is normal speech.

Unless you're my wife, that's more like an A75, I would say.

She and her friend, Stacy, are two of the loudest humans on earth.

And they admit that.

They're not wallflowers and they own it and I respect it.

Nice.

They reach frequent, not Stacy and Emily, but humans, or I'm sorry, the human scream can reach a frequency in the range of 2,000 to 3,000 hertz, whereas a normal talker is about 80 to 300 hertz.

That's right.

And just to clear up something for what's coming later, a sound, a tone can have two different frequencies.

That's it?

Well, it is, it isn't intuitive.

Like you would think like a guitar string makes like, you know, one frequency range, but it's just, yeah, it's not true.

It's one of those things.

Yeah, back to screaming, right?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Yeah, and it's so non-goat sounding because it's not even like a loud bleat that you wonder, like, is somebody punking me?

And that's just like, you know, that's James Caan from Misery that they're looping in there.

Animals, well, let's just talk about why anything screams.

It's a very effective tool.
