Joyful screams perceived more strongly than distress screams. Surprising result need to read the paper in detail. I would have assumed distress calls would be quickest and strongest screams to be processed. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/04/210413144922.htm

You've got repeated reflections between two parallel walls I believe. These give a regular set of reflections, that then create something called repetition pitch.

I am not able to understand this completely. Perhaps @trevor_cox have you analyzed this structure or do you know where I can find more info/detailed explanation? Thanks!!!

What are the best and worst ways engineering stories are told in the media? eg bad a lot of TV eng progs are about things going wrong (Engineering Catastrophes, Abandoned Engineering, Disasters Engineered). BTW: we'll be doing things differently on @PodInventive
