Removed this problem example:
- Children and babies. Full stop. This is the reason why the phrase "children should be seen and not heard" is traditional, and it's actually an evolutionary advantage because (young babies especially) cry at a tone that humans are particularly sensitive to, making it more likely that nearby adults will rush to help the child, if only to make them be quiet again! This is taken Up To Eleven when on an Airplane, there's always a baby screaming its lungs out. This is because the rapid air pressure changes that occur (even with a pressurized aircraft cabin) between take-off, reaching altitude, and then landing are painful for adults, while babies don't reflexively realize that they should use their lungs to pop their eardrums to equalize the pressure.
I see two issues with it. One, it falls foul of Examples Are Not General in my opinion. And two, since we've banned human RL examples in the interest of Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement, shouldn't we chop this too? Plus, really looking at it, "This is because..." smells like a borderline Justifying Edit to me.

I'd say that about half the female anime characters are Cute but Cacophonic. The ones meant to be "Moe" or "Kawaii" can come across as sounding incredibly shrill.

Not to mention that in Pokemon Ranger and The Temple of The Sea, Manaphy has an ear-shattering Wail to me.

A lot of these then proceed to talk about certain voice actors, arguably verging on "Complaining About Voice Actors You Don't Like"
