I always howl back.
Well, but only if it’s a proper howl, you know, like a coyote or wolf.

Hopefully they can tell the difference between playful howling and getting murdered.

It must be super cool to live somewhere where howling out a window is a communal activity rather than only an indication of “help, I am being murdered, call 911”. Oh, Sweden.

“Lapis” is Stockholm University’s residential area. Normal swedes are not as “adventurous”.

It’s a university student thing in Sweden, yeah… dubbed the “scream of angst” in some parts, even done at particular times (“the four pm scream”) etc. There may be some vague idea that it is about exam-studying angst especially, but the actual factuality of that might be somewhat dubious.
I guess Swedish uni students may not be the only ones that like goofing off, but perhaps they enjoy it a bit more than most…
