TruthInTelevision: This Troper's Brother (6 feet tall 200 pounds) does this on every roller coaster he has ridden to such a degree that it prevents the other riders of the vehicle from screaming because they are in stitches laughing.
#111979
Oh, yes. TruthInTelevision. This troper only found out she has a shockingly high vocal range when her instructor stopped her mid-practice, gave her a death glare and told her to ''shriek'' at the top of her lungs. Totally at odds with the whole 'deep voice, mildly androgynous' thing I'd had going on. (Also on roller coasters. Shrill, piercing and irrationally continual even once I'm off the damn ride.)
#111980
This troper has a male friend who exhibits this in reference to spiders.
#111981
This troper's father does this around spiders as well. It's quite hilarious, considering he's such a
powerhouse.
#111982
This troper's dog managed to elicit a girly scream from the village big guy. Situation: big guy visits house, unaware of the nature of friendly dog. Friendly dog is unaware of proper greeting practices. Cause: Friendly dog's cold nose meets the front of big guy's pants. Result: Big guy goes from baritone to soprano in a fraction of a second. Much laughter is had, and the dog is never broken of this habit. Girly-screamers are exposed as such at the door from that point on.

This troper is sure she will find that she can scream quite girlishly if she ever gets dragged to Canada's Wonderland's Halloween Haunt. It's one thing facing horror movies (screams can be resisted more easily)...facing practically living horror movies is something totally different. She desperately hopes for the sake of her pride she doesn't get dragged.
#111984
This troper can fake a girly scream, but doesn't practice it in case he accidentally uses the scream at the wrong moment.
#111985
This troper, upon being presented with a badass blue longcoat from his friend squeed really loudly and at high pitch and threw his arms around the guy's neck. He's not a girl, he swears.
#111986
This troper has a slightly different case. His normal voice is a deep scratchy baritone verging on basso at times(caused by non-smoking related lung damage, just got born with a bad set) and he doesn't have a girly scream, but rather a normal manly roar. However, his laugh is apparently like an effeminate anime villain hamming it up. Understandably he's tried to enforce a more appropriate chuckle onto himself, but after ten years of trying there is little success. Laughter is very hard to control.
#111987
This troper has a fairly low voice for a girl, but if someone sneaks up on her (or puts a life-sized Barack Obama cardboard cutout behind her in the hallway and calls her) (or if a sadistic librarian sets up two giant tiger mascot heads on mannequins behind her and calls her) she will scream like a small child.
#111988
This Troper manages to both subvert this and play this straight; when he gets really angry (as in murderous rage angry) he lets out an animal-like roar, but when scared from behind he lets out a high-pitched "eep", made worse with his laughter which seems to resemble a Yamato Nadeshiko-like character.
#111989
This troper discovered this about one of his friends when my dad took him down to the basement, hid, and popped out at him. He not only did the scream, but also the little "wave hands frantically in front of face" gesture.
#111990
This Troper has screamed once like this in his life, it was while watching the movie "Film/{{Evolution}}" in the cinema, more specifically when the pool attendant looks in the filter tank and an alien fish jumps into the side.
#111991
This troper has an unusually high pitch for a 6 feet tall mexican guy...
#111992
This Troper's friend invokes this on purpose for added funny on any given statement.
#111993
This Troper despite singing contralto and speaking in a medium alto, gave a "Girl Scream" only once: During Casino Royale, when the FUCKING ASTON MARTIN FLIPPED OVER. That poor car...
#111994
You and
me are obviously related. (I'd query tremulously 'Kate?' but you know that ends badly.)
#111995
This Troper's 16-year-old brother. Usually when he's either very upset or very frightened. It's incredibly funny, though.
#111996
When
this troper got his pinky caught between a 1/4"-thick piece of sheet metal and a machine, he was heard ''all over the shop.'' Even outside. In my defense, I'd like to submit that freakin' HURT.
#111997
This troper has a relatively deep voice for a girl, but getting poked in the stomach or flank can make her ''squeal''.
#111998
In ninth grade,
this one went to Universal Studios Orlando for a chorus competition, and had to deal with going around Islands of Adventure the next day with her arch rival. One of the few good memories she has of high school (Presently being in college) is the fact said rival, who prided himself on being a manly man black belt Proud Warrior Race Guy, not only hyperventilated in the queue for the Hulk Coaster, but later screamed like a sissy little girl on the Jurassic Park water ride.
#111999
ThisTroper discovered how high his voice could go after a spell of freezing rain that left all the sidewalks covered in ''very'' smooth ice. Shrieking "FUCK" in a falsetto after almost slipping for the fifth time in less than a block is sorta cathartic.
#112000
This troper frequently has nightmares in which he's in some terrifying situation and cannot scream. Some years ago, after breaking his ankle, he was crutching home one day when he was attacked by two big dogs. While on crutches, mind. He was oddly relieved to find that indeed, he can produce quite a bloodcurdling scream when necessary. (Four years of voice training helps with this.)
#112001
Deconstructed/Subverted by me...me and three other boys were in a tent, at a camp for our school. One of us spots a huge wolf spider, and calmly points it out. We just sort of look at it for a little bit, not at all perturbed. Then, I say, "Alright, on the count of three, scream like little girls, we'll see if the camp counselor comes." Sure enough, the counselor came a running, and said that they were rather confused, as they knew that this was a boy's tent, but that the screaming sounded exactly like little girls.
#112002
This troper, when she was younger, entered a competition to see who was best at screaming like a little girl. She was the only female. And she ''lost.''
#112003
This troper usually goes around in big stompy boots and a camouflage jacket and has been told she projects an impression of being unapproachable and sometimes even intimidating. She has also been told she sneezes adorably, like a cartoon mouse.
#112004
This troper is a girl and incapable of screaming like one. She always goes "Gah!" when surprised or scared, or makes no noise at all. Spider? Run for a paper towel to squash it without uttering a peep. Hit the pavement in a bone-jarring impact? Not a word, just get up and access the damage. Her brother, on the other hand, can shriek like a little girl at will.
#112005
This troper and a few of his cousins and their significant others were in water park in Spain. This troper managed to shriek so impressively on one of the slides the one of those cousins was convinced it was his pregnant, and very traditionally feminine wife coming down the chute (guess who didn't scream at all that day?)
#112006
This troper ends up making one of a great range of high pitched yelping/squeaking noises when caught off-guard (He's rather high strung). He also screams like a harpy, but that doesn't come up often.
#112007
Aversion:
I don't scream. Ever.
#112008
This troper was playing ''Fatal Frame 2'' while her brother's friend was watching. Said friend is not very big or anything but he'd gone through puberty and had a low voice. Until No Escape happened. He screamed louder and more girly than I did! I about pissed myself laughing at him but he was incredibly embarrassed and never watched me play the game again. Ever.
#112009
This Troper has one of the deepest voices out of the people he knows, and rarely, if ever, screams. (Even when I do, I scream normally.) But when a script calls for it, or if it would be funny, I can scream like a little girl (Or as a friend put it, like a little gay man.)
#112010
This female Troper screams like a guy, and has friends that see how high they can yell. They usually end up sounding like little five year old girls who just hot a tetanus shot. However, this troper's deep voice allows her to do almost authentic slow motion sounds. It's also another reason I'm mistaken for a boy.
#112011
Justified as this troper IS a girl, but usually not an AIEEEEEE sound, but more of an, "OMIGOSH. When did you get there?" Kind of sound.
#112012
This troper, while a bit of a wimp, has an unnaturally deep voice. He cannot sing any note not in baritone/bass range. And yet, he somehow hit a note that he was unable to duplicate except by whistle when his brother threw a dead lizard on him
#112013
I play this trope COMPLETELY straight, as a 5 foot 7 15 year old guy, and it's fun and I'm proud of it! :D
#112014
Do not Stealth Tickle SquealingSandry. She will shatter your eardrums like a
Sound Ninja.
#112015
ThisTroper when in amusement parks, but not for the reasons you might think. It's just way too much fun to be on a mellow ride and start screaming like a little girl to make the people behind you start wondering whether they got on the wrong ride.
#112016
Years ago, this troper and his older sister seemed to have the screams reversed. While I did scream like a girl, my sister screamed like a guy.
#112017
This troper is ''extremely'' ticklish around the midsection. Recently, while he was rehearsing for a musical, someone discovered this, and it became a RunningGag for his castmates to sneak up behind him, tickle and/or poke him, and laugh to the girly squeals he made as a result. Ironically, this troper sings bass and often has trouble hitting the higher notes when singing. But just give him a gentle poke when he's not looking, and he sounds like a soprano.
#112018
This troper doesn't scream, taking to a high pitched "Yeep!!" when startled, so she was rather shocked when the one time she DID scream in a girly fashion (her cat opened the shower door while she was shampooing her hair, and when she opened her eyes he was leaning in the tub staring at her) ''no one heard''. Despite the fact that her entire family was within yelling distance and it was high pitched enough to keep the cat from ever doing that again.
#112019
This troper's best guy friend is the embodiment of this trope, especially when jumped at from behind.
#112020
This troper's 6 foot, 325 pound father ''always'' screams like a little girl if there's a mouse around. (Sometimes even hamsters.)
#112021
One of this tropers friends did this when he saw a rat eating out of a bowl on the floor.
It was a pet rat.
#112022
This Troper is capable of this, as evidenced by her screaming little under an hour ago when she got the heck scared out of her by a spider. Yikes. x_x
#112023
This troper doesn't raise her voice much, but when she does she tries desperately not to shriek like a little girl, because that's a very annoying sound. The result is that this troper screams rather quietly.
#112024
This tropette makes tiny noises of distress whenever she sees a spider, and normally has to resist doing little else for the sake of her pride. That all went out the window the night she was busy doing homework on her laptop and then noticed waving above her from her fan. She looks up and tilts her laptop screen so that she can see the BIGGEST COBWEB EVER with the SPIDER STILL AT HOME. Note that this is above her own bed! At two thirty AM, this tropette let out the loudest and most feminine noise she has ever made.
#112025
This tropette sings alto in choir, and has a lower voice. But she is also extremely ticklish, and (as her friends found out) makes very high-pitched squeals when tickled. They exploit this whenever possible.
#112026
This troper is an example of the opposite. Despite being female - and at 156 cm, fitting the "little" part of the description - she's been mimicked and/or seen people burst into laughter on more than one occasion in response to her oddly un-feminine scream. When startled or shocked, she'll let out a scream that isn't so much a scream as a deep, roaring "YEEAAARGGH!" not unlike the Howie Long scream mentioned in the
Stock Scream entry. One notable example happened when she looked down, saw a dead mouse right next to her foot and promptly bolted past her boyfriend and his roommate all the way to the opposite end of the house.
#112027
I don't limit myself to just screaming, although that does happen with embarrassing regularity.. Any expression of surprise, excitement or indignation is usually about three octaves or so higher than normal. It's got to the point where my friends use it to check whether I should lay off the caffeine for a bit.
#112028
This Troper once had a role in a Holloween hike at his school, where he'd stand in a full body suit waiting for someone to come and stand still like a statue, then leapt out and startle them. One of his first 'victims' was a very large jock and his girlfriend. When he jumpped out, said jock screamed more like a little girl than his girlfriend, who afterward's facepalmed. Another of this Troper's friends can confirm this as he got the same reaction with his act from the same jock.
#112029
During class one time, my friends and I were comparing the answers of a test our teacher passed back, and my friend discovered that he got ten points taken off a right answer. Cue a loud squeak that sounded like "What?"
#112030
My brother screams like this. He does this quite a lot, without any thought for whoever might hear. Any threat of revealing this fact does not make him any less annoying. Did I mention he also has no qualms of doing this with his shirt off?
Yeah.
#112031
This tropper found out how afraid of heights she was on the Six Flags ride, Acrophobia. Needless to say, she screamed like a 5yo girl the whole way down.
#112032
One of this troper's friends said he screamed like a girl. When he actually did scream, it was ''very'' girly. This troper tried to imitate the range with little success. Oh, yea, did I mention I'm a girl? -SenshiSun
