Are people too loud?

artvanderlay

I just noticed it today...three 20-something girls walking in front of me past RTE and while normally I'd be looking at their arses today I just noticed how ****ing loud they were. Then I'm walking past people talking on phones having loud animated conversations, then there is the loud road traffic noise....AAAAARGH! Then this D4 head walking past with his girlfriend, cracking jokes at megaphone volume like he's trying to project to the back of a studio audience...WTF!!! Maybe i'm just sensitive because I was diagnosed with tinnitus today, but seriously could people keep the noise down a bit. I would love just to walk the streets shushing people Was life always this noisy or am I entering old git territory?

It happens when you get a group of people/idiots all trying to talk louder than each other in a desperate attempt to be centre of attention.

Maybe Dublin doesn't suit you?

I hate when people are too loud on internet forums with mundane epiphanies they seem to believe the world just has to know.

Start a blog of your inner thoughts so no-one can bother reading it like a good man.

Have you tried turning down your volume control? It may be stuck on "high". If you jam a finger up your batty and have a fiddle, you'll find the master control switch.

So have Spanish students stopped going on the Dart these days ?

Nothing to do with tinnitus, more like fortyitis...

Some people are loud, some people are quiet,
Some people are good, some people are shíte,
Some people are black, some people are white,
Some people are wrong, some people are right,
Some people are peaceful, some people fight,
Some like the dark, some like the bright,
Some people will, some people might,
Some people are blind, some people have sight,
Some people are kind, some people are tight,
Something something something, something ending in -ight.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the worst fúcking poem you will ever read, even worse than half the rubbish you studied for your Leaving Cert

:P

This mother of jesus. There's a woman, a woman of age even in my class, who feels the need to externalise most of her inner noise for large quantities of the day. Sure, everyone could be working on stuff and being occupied generally but she'll start off singing the fields of athenry or the story of my life by one direction, loudly and knowingly, I believe with no intention other than just being an ásshole. When it's not songs, it's reading out her facebook feed, or detailing some @hilarious@ story from the days news or sharing some of the finer details of what its like to be an annoying cow. She laughs so pretentiously that I suspect some day she may possibly choke on her own tongue. I've no problem tuning out of general chatter but her voice box appears to have been replaced with a foghorn, a 40 fags a day glutter which is disturbingly difficult to subdue. Under advice, I've taken to wearing earplugs when she's around. The day's she doesn't show up are blissful.

How loud their arses were? So they were farting then? Pretty disgusting imo.

Ask Teddy for some earphones!

I think certain nationalities, types of people and areas are loud. In the part of Germany I live in, it can be surprisingly quiet even when the streets are full. Of course people are talking, but not as loudly as say in Dublin (and I live in a city that's bigger than Dublin). And of course during Carneval there's not a hope in hell of Düsseldorf or Cologne being quiet.

Spanish people are by far the loudest I've ever encountered. Japanese people are very quiet.

"Important people",

You know the type, roaring down the phone in a public place, pacing up and down like a demented polar bear in a zoo, spouting ballsology about "slotting in another meeting"

Sadderday

YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,

I hate loud people !!!!!!!!

turn down the tv when your speaking to me so you dont have to shout over it,
you might not be able to hear your mate on the phone very well but you dont need to shout back,
im trying to have a snooze on the bus, if your two rows down I shouldnt be able to hear you - have some respect
stop making noise in general like tipping, tapping, humming, whistling etc etc It all wrecks my f'kn head.

I thought there was something wrong with me!, Thank the lord I'm not alone in this.

I got agitated that my coke was fizzing too loud when I was eating dinner.

I think I have a problem?
