[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the person but also on their family and the sound level they're used to. And on a larger scale it's a cultural thing as well.

Anecdotally, I live in Paris where locals have the reputation of unkind/impatient with tourists, but I think some of it is just tourists being very loud and completely oblivious to the level of noise they're generating. French people speak very softly, even in Paris, and oftentimes on the subway the only voices you'll hear will be tourists yelling at each other and disturbing the peace and quiet. In some cases the unfriendliness is just a visceral reaction to people "hurting" your ears![/quote]

Yes, Americans in general are so loud! Very embarrassing when traveling abroad...pull out my Canadian flag.[/quote]

I grew up in Canada. Moved here as an adult. I'm one of the PPs who said that my husband's been complaining about my loudness for 20 years.  My whole (Canadian) family is loud.  So that blows your theory [/quote]

"Theory".  LOL.[/quote]
