Answer 1

Fantastic!

I've found this somewhere on the www:

If you screamed as loud as you could from a window tonight, you’d probably receive several invitations to shut the heck up, but but not in the Flogsta neighborhood of Uppsala, Sweden. As this video creepily demonstrates, this community has a daily ritual called "the Flogsta scream" in which each night at 10 p.m., students scream collectively from windows, balconies and rooftops. Its origin is debated: Some say it’s a stress relief technique that emerged during exam times and became a daily habit. Others say it began as a remembrance of a student’s suicide in the 1970s. We're betting some outsiders might admit that the first time they heard it, they needed new pants.

Answer 2

Very cool and little creepy too reminds me of the experimental noise group Stalaggh that apparently according to them took mental patients with homicidal urges into a chapel and recorded their wild screaming and yelling.

Answer 3

Hahaha, I must try it! :-D

Answer 4

Yep it's a university thing here...

Tuesdays at ten at some of the housing areas connected to some universities. Should be recordable. I have to much of a cold ATM to do it right now. Should it be recorded during winter/snow (dampened and less apparent reflections) or wait until the snow is gone?
