Help him out grow it by showing him and telling him that it hurts you. Cover your ears and tell him that it hurt when he screeched and please don't screech again. Especially since mom thinks it's not that bad it will take him awhile to realize you don't like it. If he does it while you are holding him, show and tell him it hurt then put him down and do something else. Treat it much the same as if he hit or bit you. He'll learn. Make it clear to mom that you don't think it should be encouraged at home. Make it clear that if there is no improvement in (amount of time you are willing) then you will have to term because it is affecting the other kids as well.
