Why do people who talk on cell phones have to talk so much louder than people who are sitting sidebyside?

  • Sometimes its hard to hear on a cell phone. It depends on how the person holds it & how close to their mouth & how good the speakers are..

  • My dad talks louder on any phone. Growing up we were so happy when we got a cordless phone so we could make him leave the room when he was on the phone. He it like he is almost yelling. He is the same way on his cell phone. I think some people talk louder just because they can't see the other person, it is a mind thing. My ds #2 is the the same way when he gets on the phone, just like his PopPop. When he gets older we will have to make him go outside to talk on his phone :)

  • I know several people that does that and it drives me crazy... lol but cellphone people annoy me anyway. I guess I am just not the norm. I hate taking my phone with me and if at all possible I try and leave it at home.

  • reception... i only do that when they cannot hear me. you can turn the callers volume up but you cannot amplify your voice through any app.. they need to develop that app.
