Americans in general are loud. A young Austrian man went to great pains to point it out to me as one of th reasons he hates Americans on my last trip to Vienna. Having said that, it’s true and really jarring when I come back from working in Europe for a couple of weeks.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

True about Sicilians as well. My theory is that poor people have to be loud to get anyone's attention. Rich people know others will strain to hear whatever they say.
