Please read on... This IS a frog question!

I adopted an adult parrot a few months ago from a family friend who is fighting lymphoma cancer. I've never had a parrot before but have a soft spot for any and all animals in need. Anyway, she has this issue with screaming. Not constantly, just when she feels she isn't getting enough attention. Lately she has started screaming when I start doing something that is in the same room as her but doesn't involve her. Like cleaning the frog tank, doing a water change on the fish tank, etc. The screaming hurts my ears and sends my dog running from the room like a lightning bolt.

** What effect is this random high-decibel screaming having on my White's Tree Frog and Rose Hair Tarantula who reside in the same room? **

I was hoping that her screaming would subside as she became more accustomed to her new home, but no such luck. Being from jungle-ish environments where screaming birds are prevelant, is my tree frog perhaps used to this sound? Or is it worse since the screaming is confined to a small area (compared to an open jungle canopy!) and seems to be amplified? I have been reluctant to move their tanks because they both are more active at night and if I move them into a room other than my bedroom, I will not be able to see them much. But if that is what I should do to keep the healthy, then I will. The parrot's main cage is in my bedroom due to it's massive size and moving it to another room would require major furniture re-arranging.

My tree frog and tarantula seem to be eating fine and acting normal. But they are both relatively young (2-3 years) and I don't want to damage their health. Am I worrying over nothing?
