Hi N.,
So sorry you are going through this screaming phase. My daughter use to do this as well and it was for attention but also out of frustration because she could not communicate with me. I started then asking her to, "Show Mama what you want." And it worked and still does. Sometimes she screams for attention and she knows it will get a rise out of me. I've tried ignoring it but sometimes it's so loud that I have to tell her "NO Ma'am that hurts Mama's ears." And then she laughs. This is hard age since they can't fully communicate what they want. We know some basic sign language that sort of helps as well.
I'm hoping your son will grow out of this soon. Hang in there! It will get better. :) Have a great weekend! --R. :)
