Hi Shelley,

Well, a couple of things come to mind:

1. get out of town -- go someplace rural. No one will care.

2. try a large city park, though you might get some visitors afterwards. :-)

3. If you live in a big city, go to a rooftop and scream upward.

4. Build yourself an anechoic chamber. This isn't too difficult, but it is tedious and if you don't have a ready supply of foam rubber, it could get expensive. Basically, you first build a box; it could be cardboard or plywood or anything else. It has to be big enough to stand in, with any sort of door. Next, you cut pyramids of foam rubber with a roughly 4-inch-on-a-side square base and about 5-6 inches tall. Glue these onto the inside of your box on all surfaces, tightly packed, with the points facing inwards. An alternate to a box is the inside of a closet. You can yell into this to your heart's content without disturbing anyone. I have been inside these anechoic chambers and they are spooky -- they are super quiet even when talking loud, and if the foam is painted black, there are no light reflections either -- total sensory deprivation.
