--f403045d615867985a0547ead0c0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 My understanding was that greater vocal effort leads to mostly more low-frequency energy. Energy around 2-5 kHz is quite high for speech; hard to imagine the spectral peak moving that high, even if the effort->lows thing doesn't apply to screams.
