Isn't the most baffling aspect how apparently almost nobody heard the scream when playing? Why use a sound you can ONLY hear with music off.
btw, did someone upload it on youtube yet?

Or it's just a sound effect to add depth to the scene.Raistlin Majare 1992 wrote...

For those who missed it, I found out something about the child that essentially closes the argument on his existence. If you play the intro scenes again without music, during the cutscene with the shuttle there is zero noise (apart from two Reaper growls). However, the second the shuttle is hit with Harby's laser you hear a high, childlike SCREAM. I repeat, no other noise at all, apart from this scream.
Someone else is going to capture and upload, though the more who do the better I suppose
Right, bye byes
I'm gona check it out right now!
Or you could interpret it as a mean to make the death of the child more impactful o nthe viewer, because let's face it... 10 soldiers dies who cares, but a child die is more heart breaking, and enhanching that moment by making you hear his screams just adds to the chills.
Still no proof to me.
Yeah it is pretty impressive that we hear this single kids scream from within a transport supposedly capable of at least flying in low orbit, meaning it has to be airtight...oh and we dont hear any of the other people on board screaming, I am certain they simply took it all in stride...
The fact that we can hear his scream I see more as an indication he was never there.

I did notice it but I have my sound settings tweeked a bit so it's not 100% on everything (because IMO the sound really sucks on the default settings).Earthborn_Shepard wrote...

..Or it's just a sound effect.. Really I think you're looking into this too much. I remember in ME1 after Eden Prime that there are voices when Shepard tries to explain what he saw in his ''vision'' from the beacon.. So what would that mean?Sire Styx wrote...
Lol I never heard the child scream. If it was to play on your emotions they'd make it more obvious. Unless it was supposed to be like a subliminal message? In which case, I would say it supports IT indirectly by showing that bioware are trying to influence our minds.
Also, if you can, please have a look at the comic in my signature lol (this one: img716.imageshack.us/img716/3232/starta.png ). It explains how the child got to the building and the spaceship.

I have been thinking about the Rachni Queen. Despite what Bioware said her role in ME3 was kinda minimal, beeing simply a war asset, so I though about how they could change that in EC and i have an idea.
If you spare the queen she says that "when the time comes we will ad our voice to yours." Now if the IT turns out to be ture there is a way this quote could be become very litteral. If we say that Shepard becomes Indoctrinated or at least takes a heavy step in that direction, one that might turn the tide, if he chooses Control or Synthesis having spared the Rachni Queen could become a saving grace for a player making that choice.
We know from the Asari in ME2 that the Rachni can interact with the mid of living creatureas as well to some extent and the Rachni Queen resisted Indoctrination, so perhaps it can transfer some of that resistance to Shepard if he makes the wrong choice allowing for a "good" ending to be acheived regardless of of a wrong choice in the Indoctrination process. A loss in such a case could be the Queen dying in the process of getting close enough to perform that interaction.
This is just pure speculation from my side, but it would fullfill the "the Rachni choice has large conseqeunces we were promised."

Been trying to explain this for quite a while now, but apprently "it doesn;t make sense" I am told...
Oof course what do I know, right? This is the first videogame I have ever played in my life and I have never watched any movie with the same references in the past 25+ years.

I will repeat this: There is ZERO other noise when the music is off. NO other effects play during this scene, because it's supposed to just be the sad piano music. No engines, no Reaper stomping, nothing. Just silence, and the scream. Therefore the scream is important.
You cannot hear the scream if you haven't tweaked the volume to make the music quieter. The scream cannot be for emotional impact because it is hidden, and trust me, if you hear it for youself you'll understand it's not a scream that makes you feel more affectionate to the kid :S
Furthermore the scream is not one quick scream, it's quite long, and there is no possible way Shepard would hear the scream as loud and long as that (by the way, pretty sure the scream happens from all directions in surround sound, can anyone verify?)
I heard it on my playthrough because, like I said, I use tweaked sound settings.. I wonder if there are any other ''hidden'' sounds like this in the game. IMO its a subliminal message which, while you don't hear it clearly, will still create an unsettling atmosphere in the scene.. Ofcourse I could be wrong I'm no expert on this.SS2Dante wrote...

I dont recall the scream coming from the rear channels, but I can check later.
I agree with everything else you said about the scream, by the way. Its definitely not audible unless you turn off the music, and it's entirely conceivable that it was put in there for us to find only if we set out to look for clues....

inb4 an IT opponent claims the scream is a random banshee attacking nearby the Normandy but out of sight.
Related note: **** banshees. God I hate banshees. If I had to pick 1 enemy to just remove from this game... okay, it'd be phantoms due to MP, but banshee is a very close second and a runaway (warp away?) winner for SP.
