I have 4 pullets (21 weeks) and the first hen just started laying this week. They have become super loud and I have close neighbors. Will this subside as they get used to laying? Are they in pain? Anything I can do to help?

I had 1 of my hens doing that.Is nothing new it's mainly a loud mouth hen.I have heard cackling, the egg song and normal sounds that laying hens make - this sound is a loud raspy continuous car alarm sound. It goes on for a few minutes then stops. They are all examining the newly laid egg and seeming to sort of be freaking out about it.
