My (29F) friend (28F) thinks screaming is funny. Should I be worried or accept it as a quirk?

One of my very good friends (28F) is one of the nicest and coolest people you’d ever meet- but she thinks screaming is hilarious.

She’s staying with my husband and I in our apartment. Her fiancé is also here. She will randomly start screaming and making noises, which makes my dog start howling and even our pet birds start screaming. She finds the chaos funny too, so sometimes she will put a video on YouTube of people screaming (there’s apparently a screaming version of “baby shark”) and then start making racket that sets off the animals. Her fiancé looks at me and my husband as if pleading for help with his eyes but we kinda don’t know what to do.

I knew this was a quirk of hers but I didn’t know it was so bad. I asked her to stop and she thought that was funny. I’ve only ever known of CHILDREN finding screaming funny so I’m at a loss here. My husband thinks she has a mental illness.

Also she is very beautiful as well as nice so I suspect her fiancé puts up with it because he figures it won’t get any better than her. I seriously worry how this impacts their lives. When I address it she laughs. I asked if something else is going on that she needs to talk about and that just made her laugh harder and she let out a few screams to be “funny”. I love my friend whose a wonderful person- do I just accept this as a quirk or should I truly be worried about her?

TLDR- friend is otherwise normal but finds screaming and other weird stuff funny. It is socially inappropriate most times. Should I be concerned or accept this as a quirk?
