Re: Child's scream



Title: Re: Child's scream
Dear list,
I got a question from a medical doctor asking for info about the
'noise' level of a child's scream.

In addition to the interesting info lately on dB-levels, what I find interesting is the frequency distribution in a childs scream, that  makes it sound even louder. Cf. the graph below (which I made from a baby scream often used in Norwegian TV post-production, using the software Amadeus II), which has a lot of energy where hearing is most sensitive.
