The acoustics analysis it did does draw some comparisons to the sound profile of the whistles tested to human vocalizations but it's not clear to me it means screaming specifically and other comparisons to other instruments had a stronger correlation, but admittedly I don't know enough about auditory stuff to really wrap my head around the paper.
There's also no evidence they were used in battle as far as I can tell, at best I think people got mixed up with Bernal Diaz talking about soldiers doing "whistles" in battles alongside chants and using conch trumpets, but in context he seems to be meaning, like, whistling with your mouth/lips, not whistle devices, which he specifies only more explicitly in the context of use in sacrifices/rituals as you admittedly also specify.
There is one person a friend of a friend of a friend of mine knows who claims to have evidence for the screaming noises and use in battle maybe but I'm skeptical and haven't had time to ask them about it yet...

>>716284939 and pic related. Again, maybe not your typical idea of something "cool", but they're not AS goofy or caveman looking as the way most media depicts it. Xblanque from Smite reminds me of Ocelotl from For Honor, but worse: Ocelotl's default outfit with a few tweaks (some of which are major but wouldn't change his silhouette much: Make the jaguar suit feather mosaic, get rid of the open portions that show his skin on the limbs, it's a full body tailored suit not a skinned hide tied around him; make the helmet actually wood, feather mosaic, and metal/gemstone, and with the one arm/shoulder that has the warsuit torn off, show a ichcahuipilli gambeson beneath) could be decent, but Xblanque has most of the same issues and with extra fantastical shit thrown in, and with less authentic details. But he's also a Maya demigod rather then an Aztec soldier.
