when he doesn't get his way he will let out a high pitch scream , that echos in your ear , i haven't been to the stores for fear he will scare someone .
it gets annoying when in the house , and other siblings

Just ignore him, let him scream and pretend to walk away (notice I say "pretend", don't let him alone or out of your reach in public places, just pretend you're looking to a cereal box and shopping as usual)
I can go shoping anything from groceries to gifts for birthday parties (for other kids, not mine) and my son knows I won't buy him anything (I offer him a snack if we are going to be in a bank line for an hour because even I want to scream then)
It has worked for me. Of course strangers would look at you as if you're a bad parent, but believe me it's better to manage a toddler screaming than a 5yo making a tantrum.
If you're in your house you could whisper "I can't understand you" he'll shut up to listen what are you saying.

the walking away worked , but I was at a clothing store and he started acting like that , and I walked away and he acted like he ddn't care . and so I still kept walking and he just looked at me and turned around the other way and walk opposite away from me not running from me, almost as if to say "good she's gone " im leaving. so that wasn't a good feeling. he screams when I go get him .

Have you ever watched Nanny 911 it is actually a very good and helpful show. You learn alot about the actions of a child to the reactions of a paarent and the other way around. Children usually act in response to their environment, not always but usually. Your son might be scream or doing negative things to get attention. You need to get a balance in your reactions to his screaming. You need to show him consiquences for bad behavior, time outs taking away from him items or tv time. And if you have a busy home you need to find time for him do something with him that he enjoys show him when he is good and not screaming he will get some sort reward, extra time with TV or a special toy. Know he had to behave to get his pleasures might help you get yours. Good luck but try watch Nanny 911, nip it in the butt now while he his only two it might get worse later.
Ignore it. The more you fuss over it, the more reaction it gets, the more they will do it.
I think when they realize it doesn't work too well, they will discontinue the behavior. Reward favorable behavior-catch them doing the behavior you want and make a huge deal about it when they do!
