Shoot, I'm shrill at times.

I don't see a lot of difference in many cases between shrill and strident.

There's quite a difference, though I'll grant you that it is nuanced, between "shrill" and "strident".

I'd say about the difference between exquisite and beautiful. Both words quite a similar description, but the former slightly greater than the latter.
