Screeching - driving me up the wall!!!!

DS - 7 mo - has decided to mainly screech for the last 3/4 days. He learned how to make the sound about a month or so ago, practised for a day or two and then stopped doing it except when especially excited.
He's started it up again just before the weekend though, and does it constantly. He isn't unhappy, infact he sits there grinning while he's screaming away. We have tried to ignore him when he's doing it and engage with him again once he is 'talking' in a quieter tone but it hasn't produced any results so far!! Did anyone else go through this, and how long might I expect it to last?

good luck. they all do it at some point, bless em... you're doing the right thing "ignoring it". it didn't last too long with any of mine, when they get no attention for it they stop it in a week or so

perhaps get some of these?
