Are you a loud person?

    Children are loud. That's expected.
    Some people are loud as adults. That happens.

    I can be loud. Very, very loud. I am not the best at self-regulating the volume of my speech. Every once in a while I notice that I have gradually gotten louder and louder. It happens especially easily when I am excited about whatever I discuss.

    But usually I try to maintain a fairly quiet baseline.
    And I am working on helping my children to do the same. It isn't always an easy thing. But I do hope that they will develop a better sense of how loud they are than I ever have.

    What about you?
    Are you a loud person?
    Or are you quiet?

    Do you feel that you went through any particular training to be better at either being quiet or being loud?
    Or did it come from genetics or life experience or what?

    Very, it's genetic and a local thing.
    Alaskans in general are really loud people and my family are loud as hell.
    I have learned to tone it down a bit but if I have been around my family for long it comes right out.

    VERY...my voice projects.
    I talk quite a bit...and it just gets out.

    I don't scream, shout or guffaw...
    It's just that my deeper voice is louder.

    I get shushed all the time.
    Not in loud restaurants, but in quiet areas.

    I grew up in a family of seven. Mom, Dad, and five of us kids. Sometimes the only way to be heard over the din was to raise one's voice to the next higher level. In my FOO interrupting is part of the natural order.:rolleyes: I have to mind myself not to do that in most other situations. And I like loud music. If appropriate. Punk should be loud. Marching bands should be loud. A jazz trio... not so much.
    Sig says I'm noisy in the kitchen, clanging pots, pans, lids, dishes. Sometimes I'll beat a lid with a tablespoon in time with what's on the radio, and I love exploring new sounds. So sometimes, I'm loud on purpose. Closing doors... not really slamming, but not being quiet. I like to hear the door shut and the latch click/clack.

    I can be loud when makin' whoopee, when giving or taking... instructions. Asking for fuckee/suckee to be done in a certain way. But I don't like the gagging sounds:eek: that porn favors for deep throat BJs. I can suck dick very quietly.:p

    Normally, I'm a quiet person, but when I get in game mode, be it sports, video or board games, I get extremely loud. I embarrass my self when I catch how loud I get.

    I get loud when I’m drunk, and I think I’m hilarious so I never shut up.

    I am a pretty quiet person, as far as volume level. Tend to be soft-spoken. Certainly talk more than my wife. However, I have my loud voice. I only use it for certain occasions. For example, when I was a trooper and talking to people in their vehicles I would speak loudly and clearly. And in emergencies I will turn it on. I have had people immediately change their actions based on a firm "HEY". Once this lady on Rockville Pike cut across three lanes of traffic to turn right into a driveway. The car in the right lane t-boned her. He got out, big cut on his forehead. After a few seconds she gets back into her car, whether to leave or move out of the road, I don't know. He reached in her window and started to grab her. I immediately yelled my deep voice HEY and he let her go. It was clearly her fault but I did not want to see him get an assault charge with us as witnesses for her crappy driving.

    I naturally project and as folks here who have met me can attest, if I'm not watching myself, can turn up the volume especially if it's something I'm excited about.
    My daughters grew up with me and when the three of us go out we pretty much become the loudest people in the bar.
    Which can be a challenge in Alaska where loud is the standard setting.

    I'm getting louder as I get older, but usually only at home, not so much in public. I suspect that I'm subconsciously trying to "control" the conversation before my wife starts speaking (down) to me in her (condescending) teacher voice.

    I'm generally quiet, but in the family I grew up in, to be heard i had to be loud. I also seem to have trouble self regulating my volumez, especially if I'm talking about something exciting, or if I'm a bit tipsy.
    It's something I'm working on, and actually I often feel like I'm a real weird human for this having to be something I even need to work on.

    I grew up on a farm where we kept horses and I rode all the time. I still look forward to a ride or two when I visit the old homestead. My boyfriend Sig also loves to ride and he grew up on a farm in Sweden. But Dad and Mom (ages 75 and 70) are talking about selling the farm and moving into town. It will be a sad day.:(:(

    I. AM. A. LOUD. PERSON. Probably comes from calling my friends out by screaming their names from the bottom of their porches. Also, when my kids were playing lacrosse, EVERYONE knew my voice. :eek:
