Gamers SHOUTING is this a thing?

My kids have long since stopped gaming or in fact living at home, but our near neighbours son seems to shriek all day and I could only presume it's gaming. It's far away luckily that I don't hear exactly the words apart from occasional expletives that filter through, but it sounds like he's frustrated at some sort of online game.
Do I presume he's wearing headphones? Is it normal?!
not a major worry, but wonder if I've missed out a part of modern ljfe. Do they have to yell? 😀

They don’t have to shout, but it is a thing

If he even cared, he may not know how loud he is against the volume in his headphones vs the outside world

Yes, very common and they rarely know how loud they are because of the headphones. I ask them to try keep it down or to shut their window.

I think it's more likely if they are gaming with other people in person or virtually.

Yes, currently listening to ds laughing and talking online with his friends but it gets a bit heated at times. Telling him to be quiet doesn't work, I have to make him get off if he needs to be quiet.
