Yes Juulie, you are correct. I teach a tidbit about noises and their audiological effects, and on a chart of noises, you'll see a woman's yell is at a higher pitch than a man's yell. That explains why I don't have a problem with girls' games, because my hearing loss sometimes blocks out higher pitches. Ahhhh...the bliss.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions... The boys game was before my game last night and there was no comparison in volume. I had to double whistle several times during the game, which I have not had to to but once or twice before. It was still fun, though. I don't mind loud and raucous.
