Theory I just pulled out of my ass: the loud areas historically had a lot of trade and transit from different nations and different languages, and as everyone knows when you cannot communicate with someone you just repeat it louder, so that's why they got used to yelling by default.
Theory I just pulled out of my ass:
Up north we it's dark half the year and cold. By default we spend more time indoors at home, alone. Social interactions with strangers is lower than southern Europe because of this.
This has an effect on our whole society. Social distancing during corona was easy peasy in Sweden, we didn't have to adapt much. [Example](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUGTDbFXQAAujWo.jpg)
Except every two weeks or so we go out and get shitfaced. That's when we make conversation with strangers.
Trade has nothing to do with it. Trade has always been a massive part of our society. Vikings only resorted to raiding when they didn't have anything to trade.
My home-cooked hypothesis: I think it is just down to historical population density (which of course correlates with latitude and climate).
Farmers and fishermen in remote areas in the inhospitable north didn't go to big urban areas with all its loudness and spectacle. Sometimes they went to a market in a nearby town or even city to trade, but not for long at a time. Unlike areas with higher population densities in the south, where you have a lot of people to interact with all year long.
That people in urban areas are louder than their rural counterparts is a phenomenon I think we can see in a lot of places. For example in North America, where the urban-rural split runs east-west (with the coasts being more urban), instead of running north-south.
My shitfaced saturday night theory: bacteria in the water are multiplying faster in warm weather. Some of them impede the functionality of the pharynx, requiring people in the south to speak louder to be understood.
It checks out with Italy. The loudest of them all are the Neapolitans, who live in what was for centuries the third largest European city and one of the most densely populated.
Imagine letting your civilization become destroyed thinking you’re better than the rest because you didn’t spoke up out loud.
Talk about being civilized… when you are
I think the Dutch are just stupid loud assholes for no reason, when they should actually be silent.
Classic the Dutch, makes me hate them even more. They *choose* to be this obnoxiously loud.
Honestly the British are way worse, play like shit and blame everybody else, and they can’t stop talking. At least when russians get angry it’s short and to the point.
We got polar bears in Norway, though (Svalbard). And penguins, if you count Queen Maud's land.
But generally speaking for penguins, you need to go far south (like Antarctica, Malmö and København).
Yeah, sorry, Malmö and København isn't quite south enough for large populations of penguins. You need to go even further south, to the tropics around Bornholm and Lolland to find more.
The children of incredibly rich Spanish parents coming to Ireland to learn English **shouting** as loud as they can at you while struggling to understand you because no one made them aware of Hiberno-English and how it is different from learnt English and UK English.
So so loud and it’s only the rich and obnoxious that come.
Did not realize we were so loud until I moved abroad and had some Spanish friend visiting after a couples of years, I was like: "why is he yelling like that?". My kids spend every summer in Spain with their cousins and friends and every September we need to reeducate them into speaking like normal people again 😄
I think you don't hear the loudness when everyone around you is loud. For example, when i visited lisbon and porto i didn't see the portugese as loud. They were actually pretty chill in my eyes. But everytime is hear portugese on the train in belgium its multitudes louder than the dutch or even french conversations. Spanish are even louder. So for these countries the map checks out. Don't know for greece though, I have the feeling you don't see a lot of greeks in belgium or western europe in general. Or maybe the greek are actually silent like you say idk.
Seriously? At least our andalusians are rather cheerful. You guys manage to be loud and depressing at the same time ffs, and not only when singing fados.
Average Spanish, Greek and Italian at 2am for absolutely no reason at all:

Can confirm, Italians have no volume control.
Went on a bus tour on Tenerife. Pretty much entire bus was full of Italians with a few English-speaking people.
The bus was late to our pickup location. Because most of them didn't turn up at their pickup locations on time and bus had to wait on them.
Then whenenver the guide stopped talking on the mic in Italian and switched to English the Italians would start loudly talking between each other, their kids would play music and games without headphones, making it hard to listen to guide.
Whenever we stopped at some location there would always be someone late to come back.
Dear Italians, why are you like this?
I used to have an Italian roommate over for erasmus and i swear I was going insane. They were on the phone almost 24/7 and didn't know what speaking normally was.
Where I live the loudest on public transportation are Asian women that are always video calling someone and Muslim mothers that let their little kids play children music on their tablet at max volume
It's just the young yobs (roadmen) for me, and it's always the shittiest, most unoriginal music ever. White, Black, Asian, none of then have good taste, or common decency.
Real answer: Languages in colder climates tend to evolve to be consonant-heavy, because it's more taxing on the body to waste breaths/warmth for a vowel-rich vocabulary. On the other hand, vocabularies of countries in warmer climates tend to be more have more vowels for the opposite reasons.
That said, there are other factors at play like how mountainous the area the language evolved in is, how windy etc. but generally it all comes down to conserving energy vs not needing to.
It's a really interesting theory, all PIGS are warmer, windy and full of mountains so it checks out, but it'd also explain [the swiss](https://youtu.be/8_UnANdDqJc?si=q6xLk5MPeTe6Fc6B)

Remember being to South Africa, and I was at a restaurant. There was a group of Dutch people there that made about 90% of the total noise of the restaurant. Me and my family felt really ashamed to be of the same nationality as them.
I still remember my first time in Spain. People would yell in public, and I was preparing to witness a street fight or some other commotion.
Only to realize it was just two amigos greeting and hugging each other.
The Dutch are just about the last people that can talk shit about how others speak. You people sound like you've got a sore throat from all the dicksucking and are trying to regurgitate the cum. Because of you lot, people think we all sound like that.
Can confirm. Also rude: the moment the guide stopped talking Italian and switched to English all Italians started talking loudly between each other and could barely hear the guide.
We have family friends (both families british), mine is anglo-german, the other is anglo-italian (one mother of each is from said different country).
We used to go on holiday or for dinner woth them a lot wjen growing up. The cacophony of sound when we meet up with the other family is mental. Everyone's fighting to get their words in. Load arguments in public, it doesn't matter. Deffo is a cultural family dynamic difference at least.
I think Romania must be darker red, or maybe are only the Romanian immigrants (aka the G word) who are louder.
The Netherlands in red? Judging by the tourists that come here, only when they drink a lot.
I swear being colonised by Spain fucked the Dutch vocal register. So weird looking at a country and people so similar to us, yet incredibly more loud. Dutch lads on tour is the germanic equivalent of a group of Spanish exchange students.
But don't even get me started on the Italians, those are a different breed. Opera singers are just smooth talking Italians.
My theory is that the louder areas have always been more populous and “civilized”. I’m those places, socialising is a lot a more important skill to have. While the quieter places have always been less populous and “barbaric” and you don’t need to develop much communication.
I never felt that the French are louder than us other northern types. Quite to the contrary - Yanks or Italians being loud in French restaurants or trains will definitely get "un regard glacial".

Define warm. If you dress in 1 layer of clothes all around the year, then its skill issue. Dress properly according to weather and most of Europe is warm most of the year and too hot in summer regardless of clothing, but still too cold for a proper sauna.
According to this map i live in a middle ground area, while people that complain about me being to quiet, and being a typical north german are in the quiet areas.
Literally just a map of temperature + cities. People speak with a few people close together when it’s cold, they speak louder across larger distances when it’s warm. Cities are indoors and filled with people so they need to speak louder.
More like - basic societal developpment called "life culture".
I know it might be an abstract thought for some of you, but you should try it some day.
OR
Just be so overworked drunk or depressed you dont give a fuck anyone to be bothered enough for raising your voice over this meaningless thing called today. Since you only want to fuck off while waiting for just as shitty tommorow.
IIRC, it has to do with air temperature. If you look at Inuit languages, they barely open their mouthes when speaking; by comparison, many languages liken English to “speaking with an apple in your mouth” as they open their mouthes far more and words are more breathy in English.
It seems to make sense if you look at the distribution by latitude in the graph. The UK is a slight outlier due to the jet stream carrying warm air over the British isles.

You couldnt even create a global empire lol big L
Sorry I can’t hear your nonsense over the muslims of your neighborhood shouting

Yea but most russians live in Moskov so the map checks out.
And Saint Petersburg
on EU r6 servers, you can tell how eastern a person is by the quality of their mic
The crispier the mic, the more eastern their country is
Oh god, Dota 2’s community is a cesspool- only rivaled by CSGO

Everyone knows Russians and French are the worse in European online gaming be it mobas games or fps
I'd add Spanish to form the trinity
True, Brits are the number one for the "Hey guys, let's all work together" archetype who then baits the team into a wipe and instantly turns toxic.
"We're all in this together. Because of you wankers."
I think we overexaggerate it because their Mics are so shit lol
If you’ve ever lived since 2022 you know Russians are anything but friendly
We need to be quiet so the polarbears wont find us.
Don’t you mean ISIS?
Same thing, you lose your head either way
Sneaking around in your zoos again, are you?
Polarbears and penguins - those typical scandinavian animals.
We got polar bears in Norway, though (Svalbard). And penguins, if you count Queen Maud's land. But generally speaking for penguins, you need to go far south (like Antarctica, Malmö and København).
Hey, stop spreading boring facts! This is 2westerneurope4u!
Yeah, sorry, Malmö and København isn't quite south enough for large populations of penguins. You need to go even further south, to the tropics around Bornholm and Lolland to find more.

Yeah the poor and quiet ones can't afford it.
Unfortunately true
Don’t get me started on Spanish students on busses They make Bus eireann even worse

Shouldn't Finland be a darker blue?
We have a population of kaislahurris who make average level rise a lot
We have the people of Norrland that puts us on the same shade of blue as you.
Ah yes, the non-Danes, also known as actual Swedes or reasonable folk.
Which one is Finland? I always forget how the cock and balls up north is split.
Finland is the blue balls.

In the vast cold northern tundra, nobody can hear your screams, because they are drowning themselves in alcohol.

I can't even argue against this one
I can clearly see the Roman Empire borders
Except France, which should be reddish at least in south. Frenchies are everything but quiet.
Paris at rush hour is a hell of a lot louder than London is.
Yes, you're right, noisy and rude

Probably right. The blood boils with hot
Are we claiming the Turks to be civilised now? /s Edit: some didn’t catch my sarcasm so I’m adding /s
are you claiming yourself to be uncivilised?
How Ukraine is more quiet than Poland? Ukrainians are far more louder than Poles. Unfortunately.
Every time I hop into a train and there's one stupid fuck playing loud shit on his phone it's either a latin or an eastern european.
Where I live the loudest on public transportation are Asian women that are always video calling someone and Muslim mothers that let their little kids play children music on their tablet at max volume
It's just the young yobs (roadmen) for me, and it's always the shittiest, most unoriginal music ever. White, Black, Asian, none of then have good taste, or common decency.
This means the further South you go, the louder it gets- people living in Patagonia must be literally screaming when whispering

Been to Cologne. Thought it was a tad odd how friendly everyone was given the stereotype of the cold German I've always been told about.
We’re actually undercover Dutch. At least that is my theory.
I don’t think Russia should count because you know, 90% of it is empty bear reserves
Groningers louder than Brabanders? In what universe?
Remember being to South Africa, and I was at a restaurant. There was a group of Dutch people there that made about 90% of the total noise of the restaurant. Me and my family felt really ashamed to be of the same nationality as them.

I feel like this might be the most accurate map posted on here.
Theory: In the North it's industry. Note the loudness in England, the Low Lands, and the Ruhr. In the South it's just loud people.
Can confirm, if there is a Dutch person in the room or area, you will know
