Did kids always scream as loud when playing?

It could be they always did, and I only notice it now cos I'm getting old and grumpy but jesus. It's not even screaming it's more like screeching. Every day during summer it sounds like there is some child being murdered outside.

Did we make that level of noise growing up, playing kerby and hide-and-go and stuff? Doesn't feel like we did.

Or if we did, somebody's ma would have come out and gave us a clip around the ear. Maybe that's it - it's the parents? I definitely feel like people generally don't show much consideration to their neighbours any more when it comes to noise.
