And, I'm still waiting for the answer to my question on whether he is also in control of his screams/shrieks. Or, are the vocalizations uncontrollable, like someone with Tourettes syndrome
They are CONTROLLED. Not just controllable. They are intentional. He is getting into the music, and expressing himself to the beat of it, at certain spots of the song, always in sets of three, usually with an actual verbal count. In words. Three, two, one (or maybe it's one, two, three - I haven't been to the square in a few weeks).

Seriously - there's only a small handful of people who have an actual "problem" with the guy. If everyone else is okay with it, or (dare we dare?) tolerant...

then maybe the problem is you, and not him.
