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?

    I’m Polish. We’re consider loud where I live now (the Netherlands). For me Italians can’t speak. They need to scream to each other even if they sit together on bus.

      I’m Italian, and been living in the Netherlands for 5 years. That country is loud as hell. Every time I go back home or somewhere else I notice it straight away. POVs I guess

          I’m from Argentina. The porteños are loud. There is a lot of silence if you run away from the Buenos Aires, the Capital.

      I don’t think the poles are as loud as the dutch. The dutch are just obnoxiously loud. Particularly when sports are on but even in the office, they’re just unaware of how much noise they produce

      I’m also Polish living in Netherlands, and I experienced a painful increase in public loudness and disregard for personal space after moving here. In Poland we don’t really talk in public transport much, in Netherlands I can’t go without noise-canceling headphones.
