Why Do People Have to be Soooo Loud?

I'm very quiet.

Absolutely, I agree! I would probably say I am some where in between, I can be loud, when talking with friends or family, but I try my best to not be obnoxiously loud..

I speak quietly even with those who are hard of hearing and beg me to speak louder. Then I wonder why some people want ME to listen to THEIR conversations on the phone, it's usually the case in my neighborhood. I suppose I belong to your tribe of quiet people.

I am a quiet person. I know how you feel about loud people.

A very quiet person, not at all keen on the loud

I know what you mean I hate loud people when I was in the rehab I had most the staff it seemed like talking right outside my room talking loud & laughing loud like they didn't care about the residence.

I'm typically quiet but over the years I've had to learn to speak up louder because my mom is hard of hearing. I also work with kids which requires me to speak over a lot of screaming children at times. Now I feel like I'm either quiet or loud and there is no in between. When I was a kid I was always being yelled at to "speak up!" I was like this is naturally how I talk do you know how hard that is? I clearly learned over the years but my default is usually to speak quietly.

Who's being so noisy? I like peace and quiet. We used to have noisy people over across the street at Taco Bell. On the weekends it was as if some choice people had their parties in the parking lot. They did something about it and so it is quiet over there now. And, the house next door to TB used to have some summer parties that went on into the wee hours and went on for days. That has also stopped. I am very thankful.

I am probably on the quieter side, but I can get loud if need be. Time and place though - I would never get loud where it'd be considered to be rude.

I'm told my voice can be quite loud. I don't notice it because I can't hear it. But, I learned to talk that way because my parents were hard of hearing.

I can relate to what you are saying, I am the same way. I am soft spoken and cringe when I hear people who are loud and over-bearing. I find that it is not only a voice that can be loud, actions can also be loud and intimidating.

I am a quiet person by nature since I fear offending people over words that I grew up with that do not have offensive tones toward certain people back then that today is considered offensive like my calling out television station C W the Cretin Worship network.

I am a quiet person.

I am a quiet person.

I am sometimes louder than I need to be, but I am aware of it and strive to do better. As my kids were growing up, if we would be walking through a parking lot to get home, as we passed other houses I would remind them "Shhhh people might be sleeping" and other things.

The older I get, the less noise I can tolerate, including loud people. I am often loud, but also often soft-spoken. It depends on the situation. My grandfather was nearly deaf and I was able to make myself heard by raising my voice but keeping it low. Other people would raise their voices and he would not hear them because as they got louder, their voices raised in pitch as well. I spent many years working in nursing homes and it takes speaking louder for many residents to be able to hear us. Raising kids kept me using a louder voice. But now that I am older and live alone, I don't like loud noises or voices. Especially in an apartment building with all our opening doors inside the building so you can hear everything around. I hate being able to hear everyone talking to each other way down the hallway, It is annoying.

The nature of people is different, I always like people who speak softly.

We are quiet. It IS unnerving when people are really loud.

Oh, that I hate too! Its irritating! I'm a quiet person and it shows not just in the way I talk but in my whole personality. No wonder I dislike noise and loud behaviors. How these people could be so loud is beyond me! Everything about them is just over the top, from the way they speak, to the way they act, everything is excessive. Sometimes to the point of being inconsiderate to the people around them and disregard for boundaries.

They think it is the only way to pass their messages across.
