Title explains it all i guess.
I have experienced it personally and there are multiple such moments in movies and TV shows. It just feels like no matter how hard I try nothing comes out.

When we tense up when scared, it can tense up our vocal chords and throat muscles too. If the vocal chords are too tense, they can’t easily open and close to make sounds.
Because being silent is a evolutionary trait that keeps you alive . You don’t want to be loud with a predator near you don’t you ?
Fight, Flight or Freeze. You only do one and despite what people say on the internet people usually dont know which one they will do until they do it.
This happens to people? I had no idea.
Whenever I’m scared what I do depends on the level and duration of the fear, the more scared I am the louder I will be and the longer the fear the more talkative I will be. So in example if a cat jumps on me I might yell ‘BAH’ in a semi-funny way, if I was trapped in a room full of spiders I’d start talking/making weird noises frequently, and if I tripped then I would make a short, loud high pitched scream that everyone in the neighbourhood would hear.
