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.
