I had foxes where I lived before, and some nights you’d just hear this horrible scream. It would always startle me, and there was this deep mental effect that made it so I could never get used to it. They legitimately sounded exactly how I imagine a young girl being stabbed would sound.
Coyotes do hellish screaming, these guys sound like someone aggressively clearing their throat.
You’ve never heard a fox then. They sound like a little girl being murdered. It’s horrible.
I have two species of foxes that I regularly shoo off my porch. They go “HhhhuuuuYak!”

They scream during mating season, so you may not have heard it. It is not something they run around doing regularly.
