Why do some people, from my experience mostly women, feel it completely neccessary to talk to each other at an increasingly high decibel level when they are just across the room?
When there are people other than me in my house (siblings, parents friends of either or whatever) and they're in another room, maybe even another floor to me, I can still hear them talking so very very clearly.
Granted I have excellent hearing but they're literally shouting and I walk downstairs to hear if there's some heated discussion going on and it's just talk of a soap opera or whatever. Why? Is it absolutely neccessary? Why can't you just talk at a level where you can comfortably hear each other without naturally megaphoning it?
I think (from my experience, not generalising) it's because females love to talk over one another and interrupt. So one is talking, the other one starts, the other one gets louder etc etc. Drives me insane.
Especially when, to emphasise a point, they go into some long drawn out high-pitched voice. That is the worst.
i hear people...
but i dont react...
you get use to it
just dont think about it wont trouble you...
there could be 1000 goin on brhind me but i pretend nothings there
Its the human mating call, by making as much noise as possible they get your attention, if you're the right type to mate with and they listen to their instincts things may go further.
However most typical women will probably go back to shouting about the soap they're watching...
women? MEN are the ones who talk loud!!
i can always hear my dad from upstairs when he's down, or when he's upstairs and im down!!
its pathetic, and HORRIBLE for when im trying to sleep and he sits right outside my door
speaking of which, people usually talk really loud on the phone i dont know why!!

Misha, that's your Dad being loud. That's not Men.
No answer to my comment I notice.
It's happening now, I have music on and my sister/mother are talking over it.
We're talking Mastodon here, heavy metal. They hate me having my music loud and they don't quiet down so for every speech volume increase, a notch on the speakers goes up too.
