Piercing, Man

[douglas9401]

Laura, sports reporter on BBC news just now needs to dial it back a notch or two.

Shrill babbling is not a good thing.

[jno]

isn't it customary for the receiver, rather than the transmitter, to have a dial to adjust?

Shrill is still shrill at low volume.

[douglas9401]

It is, but the disabling effects of sonic weapons are well documented, she needs muffling.

[Atheist]

Shrill is the new normal. Listen to American women nowadays and many of them have tight-throated voices operating at high speed, copying what they hear from other tight-throated voiced women. Accents change, that's why the Queen sounds old-fashioned. Old folks find it irritating, youngsters find it normal.
