    My DS has just started doing this too - he's 14 months. It sure is ear piercing! Sorry, I'm not sure what to do about it. I've just assumed he enjoys making this new noise, and the novelty will wear off at some point.

    Earplugs

    DD1 still does it, and even worse - DS joins in and they get to exactly the same pitch.

    OMG. Its freakin horrid. I hate it. I give them 2 warnings and if they don't stop it, they get sent to their rooms.

    I used to say, 'too noisy' to Natalie when she shrieked too much. I was serious about it, didn't ever treat it like a game and it usually worked ok. If I could stand it I would ignore it too.
    Sometimes it bit me on the bum - she would occasionally shout "TOO NOISY!!!"
