A good point; actually I think you have nailed the reaction there. A scream is more when something happens like when someone makes you jump etc
Perhaps in this type of situation, the adrenaline kicks in to try and decide whether to 'fight or flight' as it were.

Quite interesting really, but maybe we're thinking too hard about such a small aspect?
