- Sports coaches and referees : Yelling is common to motivate players, give commands, or express frustration during games
- Teachers : They may yell to manage classrooms or get students' attention, and also face yelling from students and parents
- Police officers and military personnel : Yelling is part of discipline, commands, and stressful situations, especially in training or emergency contexts
- Firefighters : Similar to police and military, yelling is used for urgent communication in emergencies
- Stock brokers and auctioneers : These jobs involve fast-paced, high-pressure environments where loud communication is common
