Dear Lowlanners,



our "prodigal son" ;-), Piet Bult, tonight sent me his interesting answer to
our thread about some people seemingly talking more, harder and louder as
others do.

I've got his permission to hand it down to the list.



(BTW: I'm very glad to hear that he will come back soon!)



With kind regards



Jonny Meibohm

Dear Jonny,

Thanks for keeping me informed about this interesting phenomenon...

There is a lot (more) to say about speaking-loudness in general...

First of all: male or female (hormonus) and stature/figure (robust or just a
light body).

And indeed country-people or busy folks in a crowded capital (in the
Netherlands we call them: westerlingen; in Stell.: droktemaekers) make a big
difference.

Some specialty's like 'el commandante' figures are all around the world.

But there is one more important thing: psychic. People who do speak fast -
and loud -, very often are anxious to die early..! (Did you know? No, I'm
not kidding you.)

And how about the listener. A strange language sounds always (to) fast - and
often penetrating/irritating -. When you get older and older you can't hear
the high tones anymore and high tones are far more irritating than the
average tone of humanity.

In the first years off telephone everyone shouted so loud in that new thing,
they didn't even need a phone.

So, there are many aspects why (speaking)sound seam to be more loud then you
are used to. Even yourself will talk to a nice looking girl more quietly
then to f.i. a neigbourman who never brings back your gardentools.

Hope this will be a contribute to your discussion...

Kind regards to all of the L-List(eners). I will come back on the List soon.

Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf,

Piet Bult
