Can a high-pitched shrilling sound make fluorescent lights flicker?

Question

I know...it sounds crazy. But, I didn't pay attention to it until today. My toddler gets upset sometimes and screams at the top of her lungs. I swear that everytime she did that today...the fluorescent lights in the kitchen would flicker at the same moment she was screaming. Could that be because certain sounds can break glass? The lights never flicker by themselves, so I know the ballast (sp?) is okay and all of the tubes are fine. It was just a weird experience. Can anybody enlighten me on this?

Answer 1

It might be possible.  The screaming may vibrate the lights causing it to do that, but who knows.  It may be something else.

Answer 2

Doesn't sound plausible. It could be vibrating loose contacts, but I don't think anyone can stream that loud.

Answer 3

OM GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's John!!!
