Thanks Jim, that was fun.
The scream doesn't bother me, it's the old broken plate sound effert that won't die.
Some Foley artist from the beginning of the talkies recorded it and now it seems it has to be in every movie where a plate, a lamp or anything glass is broken and it's a horrible sound effect.

Edvard Munch "The Scream'. painting he painted like four times and a lithograph as well. So doing the same scream over and over has a long history.

Thanks for sharing the link! For many years now, my LOML and I have had fun watching movies and discovering how many of them have the Wilhelm Scream in it. Even when one of us is not really paying attention to the movie and working on another project nearby, our ears always perk up when Wilhelm pops up.
