For example when you stub your toe or get a paper cut you often make a sound like ‘ouch’ or ‘tssssss’. Or if you are stabbed you would shout loudly. Is this ingrained in us or is it something we’ve developed over time?

It’s something nearly every mammal shares with us, if you notice all the mammals that have similar responses are all pack-oriented. It’s ingrained reactions meant to tell the larger group either “Help me” ie: ‘ow’ ‘tsss’ etc. Or “Run!” ie: ‘AHHH!’ ‘FUHHH’ ‘OOO.’ It’s all dependent on the level of pain, we give an equal level of severity of an alarm. It also for some reason alleviates pain as well.
