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?

Generally the more on North they quieter nations are ,the further on South the louder. So for instance in Poland ( which I consider more as Northern country) my Italian friend was astonished how quiet it is everwhere.And how quiet everybody are, how calmly they talk or don’t talk at all. “Like video without sound…” she described Poland.
But in Sweden ( I’m Polish) I had impression I am bit too loud, too intense, too talkative and generally “too noise making around”- although in Poland I’m considered “the quiet one”.
A friend of mine is a touring musician and he said people in Canada are also much more quiet than people in the US. Within the US, he says it also gets louder the more south you go. I found this very interesting considering that (most) people speak the same language and share the same culture.
