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.
lol. I appreciate this comment. Honestly, I’ve been to Australia, Italy, Germany, and Mexico. Every country has these people. I just find it interesting that Americans are called out for it so much, but I also kind of get it too. 😂
Most Americans cannot afford to spend big on Transatlantic vacations. So the loud people are most often people in a certain income bracket & higher who are just mannerless in the first place. These are also the people who get pissed off that (insert country here) is not speaking English to them.
America has a reputation, and not just as vacationers, for doing everything over the top and at high volume. Just listen to people when you are out.
