“it has to be a certain level of safeik.”
Obviously. As the op said “…sounds like shrieks. It is scary to think what is going on. … Last night again I heard loud screaming and shrieking from inside. I think I might need to take matters into my own hands and call shomrim or police. …. I am sure that something is going on.”
Thsi isnt a lost purse that might have something that somebody might need. This is a person right here right now who might be in danger. there is no reason to call a Rav. If the Rav got the psak wrong it is assur to lsiten to him.
“I think that the reason for the chilukei deios has to do with the fact that different people are understanding the situation differently.”
I dont think so . I think the main difference is people either not recognizing (or caring) what a danger domestic violence can be (and is!). (see below*)
““Shrieking” can mean different things. The word itself is open to interpretation. It does not necessarily mean a situation that necessitates police intervention”
Obviously! If the OP had written I hear shrieking it sounds like a child is really excitedby a present she got or a woman is surprised by the diamond necklace she got, should I call the police? OF course nobody would say yes.
