Why are the Spanish so Noisy ??????

So it's not just me then and my observations. On the one hand you could say sales of hearing aids are unknown on the other hand you could say with their damaged ear drums they need hearing aids and that's why they continue to shout. Not talk, shout. It starts at an early age to try to get listened to over the rest of them.

          "Spanish people are active, they can easily change their minds or future plans, not really constant and therefore a bit unpredictable. We are independent and in some occasions reluctant to collective ideas or propositions. We only agree if we are convinced ourselves. 

 

             In the way we communicate, we are emotional, unpredictable and spontaneous.

Also real typical are our loud monologues. They occur when 2 friends meet each other and one asks the other: ‘Hi, how is everything? How are the kids?’ And the other one responds: ‘…and what have you been up to?’ How are you?’ Your family okay?’ Then probably the other one says: ‘I’m fine, thank you,…’ to continue their ‘dialogue of monologues’. ‘Well, my kid is ill with a swollen throat. You should see the poor girl, she has been in bed for days….’ To what the other one responds ‘Uh, well my kid also got the flu! She missed one week of school!’ The other one: ‘If she stays ill like this I’ll have to take her to see a doctor’ while the second one continues: ‘well, I had to wait for 2 hours before they attended us in the doctors’ surgery!’…. These conversations can go on for a while, with both speaking at the same time. Until one suddenly says: ‘Well I hope everything stays well for you’’, they kiss and go each on their own way. "

"Spanish ‘loudness‘ or ‘rudeness‘ is one of the most frequently remarked upon aspects of the Spanish character by foreigners. At first I thought it was just English people but soon discovered that the impression was fairly widespread amongst visitors to Spain from many other countries."

There was a generation of Spaniard who lived under the Franco Fascist regime for 39 years and have given birth to further generations..

""Francoist Spain, also known as Fascist Spain, refers to the period of Spanish history between 1936 and 1975 when the authoritarian dictatorship of Francisco Franco, Caudillo por la gracia de Dios, took control of Spain from the government of the constitutionally liberal democratic Second Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War.

The Spanish Civil War started as a coup by the Spanish military on the peninsula (peninsulares) and the Moroccan rif territory (africanistas) on July 17, 1936.^[1] The coup had the support of most factions sympathetic to the right-wing cause in Spain including the majority of Spain's Catholic clergy, the fascist-inclined Falange, and the Alfonsine and Carlistmonarchists. The coup escalated into a civil war lasting for three years once Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany agreed to support Franco""

""There was a lot of poverty for starters and people were suspicious of everyone. Like with most dictator or religious countries there was mostly economic and social stagnation limiting those who believed in the progress of a nation.

You could get beaten up simply for being hungry or for talking another regional language like catalan or basque. A lot of people suffered under his dictatorship, from Andalusia to Catalonia and from Galicia to Murcia.

Those who honoured el caudillo could be the guy next door, you never knew until Franco's soldiers knocked on your door to question you or worse. Only then you'd know there were spies around in the neighbourhood.

Saying the wrong thing about his policies was often enough to get you arrested and become a political prisoner and we all know what he did with "political prisoners".

His indifference toward people was one of his cruelties. The many prisoners who died of hunger is a proof of that.

Franco was at most a mediocre leader who could care less about his people.

It's thanks to Franco why there's a lot of nationalism in present day Spain.""

Today the ruling Popular Party (accused currently of corruption) is also right wing.

I know my Solicitor Isabel and her sister Rosa, DO NOT SHOUT. I know their politics are more social less austere. They are young intelligent women with families, both their husbands are qualified and unemployed.

But there is a cultural divide between us the sun invaders and them the race born and raised here. They love noise, in bars, in restaurants, in the street, in the home, in the car. All Spanish males whistle, like it was a god given right, not just tunes but for attention, instead of ringing a bell or knocking on the door. 

My observations in 3 months, now confirmed by internet research.

I often shout out at the shouters "silencio"  especially at Midnight and 1am.

There it's official

Spaniards  in general are noisy and rude, inconsiderate.
