Why Do Forests Scream When They Burn?

Forests scream when they burn because the sound of a big fire is really loud and has lots of different noises. When a forest catches on fire, it's like all the trees are yelling at once, some make crackling sounds, others roar, and sometimes you even hear whistles. It’s like when you turn up your music to full volume and everything starts vibrating.
