Redditors Discuss Why A Random Baby’s Cry Sounds Annoying But A Random Cat’s Cry Sounds Pleasing
Every day, babies typically spend 2 to 3 hours crying. There are various things that can make newborns cry.
For instance, a baby will cry when they are disturbed, uncomfortable, hungry, or even want to be carried. Sometimes, a newborn will cry for reasons that aren’t obvious, as babies are born into the world with different temperaments.
Some are easygoing, some are relaxed, and others appear to be more intense. Have you ever been on public transport or an aeroplane with a crying baby?
It can be nerve-wracking and annoying, but at the same time, it can also stir something in you to tend to the child or give some guidance on how to stop the child from crying. The former is the case of today’s Reddit question.
The redditor is asking why he feels annoyed when he hears a random baby crying but enjoys it when a random cat meows in the street and he can even meow back. But then, have you ever thought about why the cry of babies is so annoying to you in the first place?
Well, researchers have discovered that our brains are wired to react firmly to the sound of babies, making us more mindful and preparing our bodies to help at whatever point we hear it, regardless of whether we're the child's parents or not. Well, individuals have their own various reasons, so how about we take a look at what other redditors had to say?
And the question pops up:

There's a difference
When a cat meows, it's talking to you but a baby's cries is an alarm.

Taking care of a baby is a difficult task because their cries can drive you insane, especially when they cry at night. But then, they’re only babies, and we need to attend to them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you didn’t know why the cries of babies got you annoyed, now you do. And if your reason differs, let us know by dropping a comment below.
