Why do some people talk so loudly?

I think sometime it’s cultural. Ever been to an airport and overheard someone speaking loudly in a foreign language?
Dave and I were waiting for a flight to Athens a few years ago. Waiting area was, naturally, filled with Greeks. They all seemed to be talking at once, rapidly, loudly, and nonstop. Not a criticism, just a fact. Thank god for noise cancelling headphones.

It must be very tiring. I find raising my voice to be draining. Yet some people live at a high volume all the time.

For a small person, I have a large set of vocal chords noticeably bulging a bit from in front of my neck that can indeed be loud. I might have become a rock singer had I not suffered a pseudoaneurysm at age 20. My hearing except for constant low level ringing noise from rock music as a young adult, is normal.

So in most social or corporate work situations have tended to be purposely aware by habit of keeping my non-emotional voice level down at a reasonable level. In group situations my voice can easily boom if not throttled and am a confident speaker with strong elocution.

Gosh I am laughing so much!
What's your non-emotional voice?
 

I think I'm so tired a lot of the time, I have no strength to talk loudly. I marvel at the energy of others. Especially on TV on the talent shows, when they sing fit to raise the roof.
