does someone's size affect how loud things sound?

yes definitely, are you familiar with tha laws of vibrating air column? the bigger the size or the longer is the vibrating air column the lower is the pitch produced. that is an inverse proportion relationship!!! eg. compare the sound produced by a violin with a bajo, size really matter!!!

People control the volume of their voice by how loudly they can hear it. When people have headphones on ,they cant hear their own voice, so cant' really control it. Naturally they speak loud enough to hear themselves, which would need to be loud to overcome the music. People who are losing their hearing also tend to speak louder.

All instruments in a band should be roughly the same level of loudness. If your bf is playing loud, you need to crank it up a bit. Drums are a loud instrument, that just the way it is.

Not sure, but it's actually pretty negligible. Even when you're firing the main gun while "buttoned up", your ears don't even pop.

Yes, on average.\nRemember that the cochlear implant lets one distinguish 22 levels of sound (in basic models).  The dramatic difference in male (bass) versus female (tenor) allows that to be distinguished.\nHowever, I have a female friend with a deep voice (relatively).  Someone with an implant would have difficulty making that out.

I have a buddy named Carrol who is about 6'6" 300 lbs and is very sensitive about his name.  Now you would think people would say anything but then again, people can be very insensitive.

I'm assuming you meant "speaker."  I like listening to someone who is speaking loudly enough to be heard without screaming; who is a little dynamic in their movements, but not jumping wildly about; and speaking on an interesting topic. ;) Of course, that last one will vary by listener.  Also, their voice should vary in pitch and tone for emphasis - no monotones, PLEASE!!!

Sound is absorbed by the human ear, at most frequencies above 50Hz, where as lower frequencies can be felt.\n\nSound improvements involving the listener will take in consideration of what, where and how people listen to music or speech or an alarm.\nStudies of behavior problem people who need help.

Amazingly, it seems that it does.\nCheck http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs/10.1089/107555304322849039\nhttp://sps.nus.edu.sg/~tanshenm/2172.pdf\nApparently it's about the volume and not related to a type of music.

A speaker with sensitivities above about 90 dB is considered to be a high-sensitivity speaker. Under 89 dB, and it’s considered a low-sensitivity speaker

I think it all will depend on which of them wields the most influence over you, that is, the person who you feel closer too.  If you feel closer to the first person, then you will be noisy, but you will be more shy than noisy.  If you feel closer to the second person, then you will just be noisy.  However, if they both mean the exact same to you, then chances are you will be noisy because noisiness is a stronger character trait than shyness.

If it's toned it doesn't matter. You sound like a big fella!

Babies may be able to hear out to 30 or 40kHz.\nA very few adults can as well. Older adults have a hard time hearing anything above 4kHz (there is a small drop in everyone's hearing around 4kHz).\n\nThe 20 to 20kHz thing came about as a "statistical norm" in testing hearing many years ago.

Sound is a waveform passing through a medium (in this case air). Cooler night air is denser than warm daytime air and therefore easier to travel through and propagate. Other factors already mentioned contribute to it seeming louder, but do not help it to travel further.

Actually, not all ear buds give great bass response at all.  And you don't always need large speakers to get a good bass sound, although "woofers" and "subwoofers" are larger than the "tweeters" that deliver higher sounds.\n\nBut something else that makes a big difference in bass response is whether the delivery system is (1) positioned above some sort of large resonant space and (2) muffled by anything.  For instance, your stereo's subwoofer will often deliver more bass response if it's on the second floor of your house on a hardwood floor, and hence able to use the space beneath it as a resonance chamber, than if it's on the first floor on carpet.\n\nIn the case of your ear buds, if they can produce the low frequencies, they can actually use the structure of the cavities of the human skull to improve bass response.

to some yes and others no - does the size of yours matter to you - you are the one dealing with the issue
