Is it normal to feel scared or terrified by the sound of a baby crying?

[jennifer_bloom]

I heard the sound of a baby crying in a YouTube video and it was terrifying. I can ignore an adult that cries but when a baby cries it is extremely scary.

The sound is exactly at the right frequency to cause that response in adults. In nature crying is fatal, it attracts predators and gives away location. It's essential to make them stop as quickly as possible and nothing does that better than a horrible noise.

That's pretty common.

When i hear a kid screaming in a restaurant I m just glad it is not one of mine. My kids are all grown up but there re still some restaurants tht I can never go to agsin.
