I read people say online that Americans are loud. What does this mean, exactly? Is it literal volume or is it our personality/presentation? Something else?
I may be moving to Australia because of my wife’s job, and I want to better understand this. I want to assimilate and I don’t want to be annoying. I’m personally pretty low key and listen more than speak, but this is my perception of myself.


As an Australian, I took up baseball because the crowd is far more pleasant than the Aussie Rules football mob.
You’ll be fine. Half of Australia doesn’t have an “inside” voice.
Awesome! Thank you for your comment!
