I'd rather scream at the negligent parents, but yeah, it's entirely normal to be annoyed at screaming children. We are hard-wired to find that an incredibly piercing and distracting sound; evolutionarily speaking, it makes sense that a child's cry is one of the most intolerable sounds in the world because it means we'll do whatever it takes to make that racket stop.
It's worse in restaurants. I just want to mash some people's faces in their plates of food when they sit there eating calmly as their children raise unholy hell. Just because the stupid sacks of meat and gonads couldn't be arsed to use birth control a while ago doesn't mean I need to have my meal disrupted. If your kid's too young to handle a restaurant meal, order a damned pizza and stay home.
Is it normal to want to scream at screaming children?
