Oh, that squealing is sooooo hard to deal with. Thankfully my LO has never done it, but a lot of the other kids at mothers group do, and after 2 hours with them, I am about ready to break a blood vessel!

The only thing I have to say is that HOPEFULLY its a phase. My LO growls. Seriously, its a wierd noise- people turn around in the supermarket and look. But he will do it for a few weeks and then stop, then maybe come back to it in some alternate form a month later. And I know a lot of the squealers in my mothers group have eventually stopped doing it. From what I can tell, they seem to go through noise phases- some cute and others downright bamboo-under-your-nails irritating.

I understand your frustration. I would try to wait it out a while before taking disciplinary action. He's probably after a reaction and will get bored of it after a while. But I don't envy you and I'm certainly not judging you!
