the screech was probably someone getting raped outside your house,lol. unless one of the bichirs stuck it's head out of the water made some noise cuz people can't hear things under water
thats not true humans can hear vibrations and other things caused by movement or if the sound is extremely loud u could hear it if u were close enough to the water. some sonar from some larger whales is so loud it could actually kill u!
as i type this im hearing sounds of my under water power head. its like a under water vibrater!
