I had foxes where I lived before, and some nights you’d just hear this horrible scream. It would always startle me, and there was this deep mental effect that made it so I could never get used to it. They legitimately sounded exactly how I imagine a young girl being stabbed would sound.
How do you sleep/deal with the reports of hellish screaming in the night?
Coyotes do hellish screaming, these guys sound like someone aggressively clearing their throat.
You’ve never heard a fox then. They sound like a little girl being murdered. It’s horrible.
I have two species of foxes that I regularly shoo off my porch. They go “HhhhuuuuYak!”

They scream during mating season, so you may not have heard it. It is not something they run around doing regularly.
The same way i respond to reports of cackling and dancing naked.
In a celebratory manner?
More cackling and dancing naked. Not sure if that counts.
