Youtube does strange things once in a while. Start with the easy stuff. Reboot the computer and/or clear your browser’s cache (even if you just have it remove items related to youtube).

Judging by the people in the hotel room next to ours a few weeks ago - pretty loud.

Cockatiel or cockatoo, whichever one squeals all day.
