I read people say online that Americans are loud. What does this mean, exactly? Is it literal volume or is it our personality/presentation? Something else?

I may be moving to Australia because of my wife’s job, and I want to better understand this. I want to assimilate and I don’t want to be annoying. I’m personally pretty low key and listen more than speak, but this is my perception of myself.

    That’s very funny. Has it really been a “thing” recently? I feel like it’s been years since I’ve heard someone mention it. Maybe it got subliminally resurfaced.

      Almost all of the references on that wiki page are from the last couple of months - I assume it’s been trending on social media recently.
