Some cultures are very gregarious and lively. They like loud music, speak to each other loudly, etc.
Which cultures have you found to be more reserved? Not necessarily cold or rude, just not as loud in public?

Japanese.
Their entire culture is based on what others think of them as opposed to individual progress (like in the US). So they are very considerate except when they are dunk or on drugs.
Or at home.
Or with friends in public.
This is key. There’s a big difference between public and private in Japan.
Or in a soundproofed karaoke room
Aggretsuko noises.
Yep, my Japanese in-laws are very polite and gentle until it’s BBQ time or new year’s party at home, and everyone starts drinking. Then chaos reigns.
