Contrary to popular belief and hope, people don't usually come running when they hear a scream. That's not how humans work. Humans look at other humans and say, 'Did you hear a scream?' because the first scream might have been you screaming inside your head, or a horse backfiring. Terry Pratchett
About This Quote

We all know that yelling or screaming can be a sign of fear or anger. When someone starts to yell, it's instinctive for other people to look around to see what’s causing the yell. But humans aren't always so obvious about their feelings. Only the people closest to us are aware of our internal emotions so we have to be careful that they don't pick up on our real emotions.
