Who's the louder talker, you or your husband/wife?

I come from a family of loud talkers. Drives my wife bonkers at times. My decibel level is not deafening by any means but it's probably about 30 per cent higher than average, I'd guess.

On my dad's side of the family, his mom was a much louder talker than his dad, so it's not always the man who's the proverbial loud mouth!

I'm not particularly loud but compared to him, I am. Compared to MY mother, I'm downright soft spoken
