All things aside this is really interesting. That scream is really primal and tickles a part of our brains that where if you dont immediately get kicked into flight or fight youre likely dead.
I remember in a YouTube video demonstrating how the death whistle worked, the creator commented on imagining hearing several of those whistles simultaneously, in combat as the adversary. Pure terror. And agreed — still asshole behavior by this "prankster".
Fear of sounds is pretty incredible. I was watching a revolutionary war (US) reenactment battle in a history class years ago and asked the teacher why they didn’t have archers still during this period since they weren’t wearing armor. He tried to explain the sound of musket and canon fire in battles but ended up inviting anyone who wanted to go to a reenactment at the end of the month and a bunch of us went. The sound 100-200 black powder muskets and cannons going off constantly is terrifying. I go to the range and shoot modern firearms and they don’t make me flinch as nearly as much as the raw sound musket fire did.
Also fuck this dude, my someone blow that every times hes drifting off to sleep

Still, asshole.
