Seems like this would have a lot to do with why fuzz is such an expressive effect. ..my first thought anywayWhy are screams so frightening? Because sounds with frequency modulations in 30-150 Hz range have a particular "roughness" to them that activates the fear circuit in the amygdala, according to research published in Current Biology, titled "Human Screams Occupy a Privileged Niche in the Communication Soundscape."
