When two people scream in unison there’s this weird flanger effect happening in your ears… Anyone can explain where it comes from?

When I was a kid me and my sister used to play this game, where we screamed next to each other to hear this flanging overtone in our ears.

Since then I always wondered where it came from… And if it could be reproduced with synthesizers somehow?

You’re referring to a resonant interference pattern. Pretty much anything that makes a consistent tone can have this effect if the frequency (hz) is slightly offset from one point to another. Even the reflection of the sound off he right medium can induce a slight offset and create the effect.
