What's the loudest scream you have ever let out?

Stop it. 😅😅

I groaned in childbirth but I didn't really scream. No, the big scream was the time I picked a milkbottle up off the front step and a mouse ran from its shelter behind the bottles and up my trouser leg. I screamed and dropped the milk bottle, followed shortly after by my trousers.

I still feel a bit stupid about that, because I'm not afraid of mice generally. I think my mind didn't immediately register that it was a mouse, it was just a small ball of 'fast scuttling run' that was on its way to my knicker level.

I have honestly never spontaneously let out a scream or anything near that level of sound, either as a child or an adult. I expect that'll make me really weird or strange, but it just isn't the way I express shock or any other emotion,

im actually a very emotional person but it tends to go on inside rather than being externalised. In fact, I'm now wondering how it must feel to let out a scream, I wonder if it goes back to childhood, because I'd never in a million years have screamed in the playground or in the street or even indoors at home. It just wasn't a thing in our family or at school, we were a very quiet bunch.

and as a gardener, I can't imagine being frightened by a spider, I've seen more of them in my gardening career than I've seen dogs or cats. But I appreciate people have a fear of them which I can understand as they tend to scamper around with legs all over the place. Now ...a wasp on the other hand 😮 aghhh, DH has to get rid of them for me, he grabs them and shoves them outside. He's immune from them!

Realising I was standing on maggots. In socks. I must have jumped 3ft in the air too 😂

Just after the very first Jurassic Park film came out, so a while ago. Sitting in the cinema, minding my own, it was a quiet part of the film, but tension clearly building up to a shock moment so I was all prepared, then some bastard a few rows back threw a peanut at the back of my head , OK it wasn’t an unexpected attack by a cgi velociraptor, but it made me shriek.

I'm searching for the 😂emoticon @Vroomfondleswaistcoat that was a very agile mouse, how the hell did it get up your trouser leg!!

Also during childbirth a very primeval scream from the pit of my stomach. I was also told to stop and focus the energy on pushing!

I have night terrors sometimes as an adult when stressed and the night my nan died I stayed at my mum's, and woke the whole house screaming at 2 in the morning, I don't know if it was the loudest but my siblings, mum & stepdad said it's the most blood curdling sound they've ever heard , my stepdad ran downstairs in his pants enough to make anyone scream and flung the curtains back convinced someone was trying to break in through the window.
The poor dog had to be coaxed out from under the bed and I woke up sitting upright mid scream wondering what the hell was going on with my siblings and mum on the stairs all looking at me and my step dad fighting with the curtains.

I think the loudest thing I’ve ever done is a big gasp. I’ve never screamed in my life.

I didn’t make any noise in labour either, my husband says the only thing I said either time, was a quiet ‘fucking hell’. 😂

Like the poster just gone. Never. I wouldn't know what my scream sounded like.
Just a gasp or a fuck.

In the garden when a huge, bulbous black spider 🕷️ crawled up my leg. Never knew I could make such a sound, think high pitched, strangulated scream.

First labour (2012) - went from 3cm to fully dilated in the blink of an eye and SCREAMED BLUE MURDER. Not the crowning, not when DS1 turned as he was popping out giving me a huge tear, just that ‘transition’. Nothing near it with DS2. Felt like a samurai sword had sliced me from head to toe.

(If anyone could explain this I’d be really interested!!!)

Playing Tomb Raider when a crocodile popped out.

Spiders make me sound like an opera singer.

Loose trouser legs which were long enough to just touch the floor... honestly, I thought it only happened in Tom and Jerry cartoons, but, nope, a mouse up the trouser leg is a real thing. You have been warned...😁

Death of a parent

Surprised so many are screaming during childbirth as screaming releases hormones that tighten your muscles and will make giving birth harder and more painful.

Anyway, I think when I broke my foot. Screamed out of shock and pain at the sound.

Actually thinking about it, it wasn’t really a scream. More a yelp/ shout of pain.

not sure I’ve ever screamed in the traditional sense

I don't think I've screamed since I was a child, playing chase in the school yard.

I'm very uptight, and don't let out spontaneous screams. I have a screaming spot though, and sometimes go there to scream at the top of my lungs. Can recommend.

I started doing it because I was worried I may not have the ability to scream in an emergency situation, funnily enough.

When I put my foot into a bowl of vinegar to treat a jellyfish sting. Scared the life out of DS1 and the neighbours.

We had mice and one was getting cocky just running round the living room and standing there watching TV with us (honestly the thing was ridiculous haha it was almost tame!!!!) so I was trying to catch it, it was hiding behind a book shelf, and it came running out and ran over my arm. Screamed so so so so loud and a little bit of wee may have come out too! 😅

Pain wise, DSS had been cleaning his headphone socket out with a sewing needle once, left it in the couch sticking up, and I knelt on it. Fun times.

When we had bats in our house. I was so scared!

My cat caught his claw in the radiator and like an idiot I grabbed him - he bit me many many times as hard as he could all over my hand and arm - while it was happening I could hear a screaming noise but didn’t fully realise I was making it! My DH ran up the stairs at top speed and rescued us both.

I’ve never been a shouty/screamy person, if i’m startled its usually a loud gasp.

The loudest scream was when I was around 11 years old, and my step mum tried to hit me over the head with a casserole dish whilst she was angry and drunk. My dad managed to stop her.
