Ever wonder why people shout on their cell phones?

Actually, there is a legit reason. My Dad is fairly hard of hearing after working on fighter jets for 30 years. So he in turn speaks very loudly on the phone but he doesn't realize it.

I havent clicked the link, but I would assume that people shout to get attention from their surroundings, to show others that they are on the phone and are oh-so-cool and important.

I see this all the time on-campus, these freshmen speaking so loudly to their phones in a crowded market place during lunch hour.

Attention wh0res, is what it is.

danny~!
 
I speak louder into the phone when I hear traffic or other noise coming through from the other caller. Like if they're in traffic or on a street in Manhattan. I know it's stupid but it's my natural instinct to speak up some. 😕
 
Side tones. And the Dr. is a moron. He plainly lays out the problem with the ear plug example, yet his solution is for people to "not talk so loud" instead of electronicaly creating the added volume on the device. Idiot. If people could just talk a a lower volume, they would already be doing it.

He should know it's an involuntary response.
 
I don't wonder at all - I know exactly why they do it. They think they're cool talking on a cell phone. Attention whores.

The winner...

 
I've always figured it was because you can hear yourself on a regular telephone, and on a cellphone you cannot.

I think for some people it's more of an involuntary response than others. I only shout on a cell phone when I have to to keep my mind on the conversation, or when the other person cannot hear me. I know some people that always shout, and it's not on purpose. Some folks are just that way.

Did you listen to the clip? The Dr. says it was a problem on the older phones when the system didn't produce the side tones. If people couldn't "fix" the problem themselves on the old land lines, why would they be able to do so on cell? Nice critical thinking there Dr.
