<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Dear Jonny,</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Thanks for keeping me
informed about this interesting phenomenon...</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">There is a lot (more) to say
about speaking-loudness in general...</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">First of all: male or female
(hormonus) and stature/figure (robust or just a light body).</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">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. </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Some specialty's like 'el
commandante' figures are all around the world.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">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.)</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">In the first years off
telephone everyone shouted so loud in that new thing, they didn't even
need a phone.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Hope this will be a
contribute to your discussion...</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Kind regards to all of the
L-List(eners). I will come back on the List soon.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Mit een vrundelike groet uut Stellingwarf,</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Piet Bult</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">PS Jonny: You may use this
writing on the L-List, if you want so...</p>
