This is based on a misperception of the monsters...that it is screams and not fear that causes the power surge. Actually, it might work to a degree, since it is virtually a torture device. Or it might overdo it (as it did to Boo IIRC) by sending the victim into a kind of numb shock, a difference in kind as well as degree, thus shifting the frequency of the psychic emmissions out of the resonance range.

Well, I guess that it's true that the child might just go into shock instead of actually screaming, but this might sometimes happen even using the traditional scaring method. If this happens time and time again concerning the same child, they probably just scrapped the door, whittling the bedrooms they had access to down to all of the children that do actually scream when scared.

I haven't asked Ran the specifications of the Scream Extrator. Only that he told me that he didn't make it lethal one bit.
Presumably what, in my guess, it does is suck the ability that allows screaming. Having someone scream, and lock them into that scream, thereby sucking the flow.
