* R&B singer [https://web.archive.org/web/20100420084000/http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/michel_le/bio.jhtml Michel'le] is known for the vast difference between [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IvtYAp7rVY her sultry singing voice and her cartoonishly high-pitched speaking voice].
* At an early [[Led Zeppelin]] show, the sound system broke down, but they kept playing anyway, and legend has it even the ''back row'' could hear [[Bishonen|Robert Plant]]'s voice perfectly.
* Former [[Hello! Project]] member Yaguchi Mari; she's only 4ft8 or so tall with big brown eyes and a generally sweet disposition. She's also [[Hot-Blooded]] and tends to have [[No Indoor Voice]] when she does get riled up, which is [[Berserk Button|not difficult at times]].

== Western Animation ==
* The Trope Inspirer was a cute little bird, something like a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Tawny Frogmouth]], in the "The Swamp" episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. It is all [http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/204/218.jpg fluffy and precious]{{Dead link}}. And then it emits a [http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/204/219.jpg scream]{{Dead link}} that sounds disconcertingly like a terrified ''human''.
* Dr. Girlfriend from ''[[Venture Brothers]]'' looks like Jackie Onassis but sounds rather like Harvey Fierstein. She says it's from smoking a lot, but has inspired rumors that she's a [[TranssexualismTransgender]].
{{quote|"Do you smoke cigarettes, or do you ''eat'' them?"}}
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "The Frying Game" had the endangered screaming caterpillar (or "screamapillar"). It ''is'' cute when not screaming... or laughing at Homer being executed....
Line 205:
** Along with Sweetie Belle are her two friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. The three of them make up the "Cutie Mark Crusaders", and whenever all three yell at once the other ponies around wince and/or have their manes blown by the force of their yelling.
* [[Yoko Ono|Yoyo Nono]] from the ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' episode "All You Need is Narf."

*** "[[Gunnerkrigg Court|I'll have you know]], [[Fantastic Foxes|foxes]] have the [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=690 finest calls] in nature."
** Fisher cats make similar sounds (to the point that they're often mistaken for foxes and vice-versa) which is startling considering that fisher cats look like big weasels.
** Fennec foxes are the [https://web.archive.org/web/20210309183321/http://subletclothing.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fennec.jpg cutest things on Earth]{{Dead link}}, but then, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su3ovMsFXMg they open their mouths].
*** And that's his '''happy''' cry.
* Hummingbirds can scream quite loudly when scared.
Line 287 ⟶ 286:
* Tree hyraxes look like the lovable lovechild of a love triangle between a small dog, a guinea pig, and a bear. Their nocturnal call is comparable to the screams of a human woman undergoing prolonged physical torture.
* The mighty elk/wapiti. Cute when young, majestic symbol of the North American wilds when an adult. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgHl99Vom6s Sounds like a demonic string instrument when it wants to get attention].
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphimallon_solstitiale European june beetles]. They are cute little bugs hardly 2 cm in size, but when a few of them fly around you they sound like a swarm of monster hornets trying to murder you (see [https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=gerippte+brachk%c3%a4fer&&view=detail&mid=D946FE86B35227C4B850D946FE86B35227C4B850&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dgerippte%2Bbrachk%25c3%25a4fer%26FORM%3DHDRSC3 here], for example).
