How can you differentiate between the sound of a baby or small kid crying from the sound of one that is laughing?

[Novostranger]

Because both sound identical compared to older people. It's hard to differentiate without looking at them at their face.

[vkobe]

cry is more noisy and continue

[bAd a!m]

I can, but I'm not surprised that some people struggle with this.

As you said, both sounds are very similar.

The key to differentiate is in the prolonged lower tonality of crying versus laughter, which is always high-pitched and not maintained for extended periods of time.

laughter tends to cut off suddenly, crying goes on for longer.

over time most people's voices and expressions shift into the crying category.

Consider pro-forma essentialism (ie what you are as a child is what you will always be, your 'essential nature,' you're just going through evolution stages to become an adult but your 'essential nature' is still a ratata/pichu/etc,) if an AI were to maximize our desires for crying our natural selection pressure would be to create modes of expression where the difference is hard to tell and non-reflective of our actual internal world.

Similar to voltorb baiting by naming your pokemon the wrong name and growing the rest of your team out of their preferred stat/skill alignment in order to deflect specific counters.

Lung capacity.
A baby can't do a continuous cry for as long as a kid can. A kid can fake a short cry though.

A baby is a small kid. . . .

Ssssooo there's a school playground up not too far from where I live.
Sometimes I CAN'T tell the difference, as it's all just background noise to me.

On the rare occasion, some kid will kick a ball over the fence, and there's a small crowd that'll gather and start shouting asking for it back if I happen to be out and about in the back yard when this happens.

This is a small countryside suburban area, and I used to go to that school, the former principle when I was there has also since been the city mayor. So if I'm out and about I'll gladly scoop it up and send it back over. :-)

But I've also heard a few fights break out, as well as a few kids hurt themselves on some of the playground equipment as well.

Due to certain factors like my age, the size of the fence, the fact that I don't know any of the staff there, or have anyone's number, there's kind of nothing I can realistically do besides try to get one of them to go get a nearby teacher...thankfully, kids aren't totally without rationale, and usually one of them can and will go and do that.

I've got a niece. She'll probably be going to that school in the next couple years.

But yeah, it really can all sound the same, even to me, and I'm a classically trained musician so I have developed hearing skill to be able to differentiate between sounds.

[Angel]

I can and there are different levels of cries from minor, full tantrums, fear to emergencies,

I could tell my kids cries apart. I knew which one was crying just by the cry itself.
