So put a radio or CD player in his room and play something. :) Personally
I'd choose really fine music in an effort to avoid whatever random cr*p
might come through on any radio program. Or a loud ticking clock, like
they use for orphaned puppies. The kid has had 9 months of intense
unavoidable internal noises: heartbeat, digestion, conversation, etc.
Silence must be quite shocking.

A rocking chair is good, and lullabys are good.

Being a parent is fun. Everybody says so. It's an experience like no other.

And utterly exhausting.

You can rejoice that you have a healthy screaming baby: he's developing
his lungs and getting plenty of exercise.

Of course you aren't getting any sleep, but nobody cares about how the
parents feel, once the baby is there! :)))

Best regards,
