I once read a lovely observation from an American who came to live in Germany and was surprised to be called out for being so loud all the time.
Then she learned about the "1 meter voice" that her kids get thought in school. Once she got the concept she too was able to speak in a "decent voice".
Load voices are partly culture, partly self awareness.
