What is the error commonly encountered with this sound effect?
Best of luck to solve this one and as always, the answers are in the comments.

Film producers are quite right that the scream would get fainter as it gets more distant. But it would also reduce in pitch as the screamer accelerates, thanks to the Doppler Effect – also why emergency vehicles sound different as they approach you, pass, and then drive away
