I've been meaning to try to 3d print one of these. There was a meme video about someone doing a batch of 200 to give out on Halloween, and it made me wonder if a plastic one would yield the same sounds.

I've printed one, it kind of did sound the same. It didn't so much sound like screaming, though, as hoarse wind whistling.
I printed a few for halloween this year. I found that the angle and strength of blowing made a huge difference. I'd say that I was able to pretty much recreate the sounds in the linked recordings. The benefit of the 3d-printed once is that you can have one with the face of Jeff Bezos.

Oh, I didn't say that because I'm Bezos obsessed but because it's literally a thing which I found surprising: https://www.printables.com/model/285896-jeff-bezos-death-whi...

Or a dual-headed whistle, with one head as that of Corey Quinn, and the other as Bezos...
