Conventional thinking suggests that what sets a scream apart from other sounds is its loudness. However, many sounds that are loud do not raise goose bumps like screams can. To find out what makes human screams unique, neuroscientist Luc Arnal and his team examined a bank of sounds containing sentences spoken or screamed by 19 adults. The result shows screams and screamed sentences have a quality called “roughness,” which refers to how fast a sound changes in loudness. While normal speech sounds only have slight differences in loudness—between 4 and 5 Hz, screams can switch very fast, varying between 30 and 150 Hz, thus considered to be rough and unpleasant. ‎ Arnal's team asked 20 subjects to judge screams as fearful or not, and found that the scariest are almost always connected with roughness. The team then studied how the human brain responds to roughness using MRI brain scanners (磁共振颅脑扫描仪). As expected, after hearing a scream, activity increased in the brain's hearing centres where the sound coming into the ears is processed. But the scans also lit up in the amygdala (脑扁桃体), the brain's fear centre.‎ The amygdala is the area that responds to danger. When a threat is detected, our adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises, and our body prepares to react to danger. The study found that roughness isn't heard when we speak naturally, but the most annoying alarm clocks, car horns, and fire alarms possess high degrees of roughness.‎ One potential application for this research might be to add roughness to alarm sounds to make them more effective, the same way a bad smell is added to natural gas to make it easily to be detected. Warning sounds could also be added to electric cars, which are particularly silent, so they can be efficiently detected by pedestrians.‎ ‎1.
