It's higher in pitch and therefore, I think registers higher in decibels.
A lion's roar is reckoned to reach 110 decibels. Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, who says she grunted since the age of four and cannot help it, has been measured at 101.

Azarenka doesn't grunt, not even a feminine grunt. She squeals. I don't like grunting, but I can get past it. She sounds like an animal in pain.
I would have to say that I think that there are more women making a noise than men.
Owen has his new glasses. I think this geek has emerged from his chrysalis and is spreading his nerdy wings in preparation for flight.
Somewhere I read about how annoying many of the women are when they grunt as they hit the ball. Are the women grunting (or screeching) in a more annoying fashion than the men?
I saw an interview with a famous tennis player recently (Seles? Crap, I can't remember) who was saying that part of the point of the grunting is that it disguises the sound of the ball hitting the racquet so that it's harder for the opponent to gauge how hard it's been hit.
Yay for geeky glasses!!
There was a young girl at the bookstore on Saturday who had on the most adorable purple glasses. Combine that with her terrific green hat and multi-colored shirt, she was a vision in bright colors!
The thunder here was so awesome I could feel it in the floor.
Still in line. Woman 2 in front of me has not stopped talking since I got here. I know the ages of her kids, some of their vacation spots, touristy stuff they've done in NYC. Shut it woman.
When I was in line at the post office yesterday, the person ahead of me was sending something to someone with the same name as I was. It was quite a coincidence.
