Well then we know who the loud ones are in your neighbourhood heyFelgerkarb wrote:some are loud, some are not. When I lived near Street 110 they were loud and rude around the clock. Here in TTP they just park in front of my gate and trap us in the compound all day. It was sweet listening to Morticia rip the shit neighbors a new ass for doing it too.
Why are Cambodians so loud?

I can attest that Khmer weddings are VERY loud. I stayed at Hendrick's Green Hotel once with a three day long party a block away. Didn't get much sleep. Other than that and excessive use of vehicle horns, no problem.
Some western guys, especially old ones, seem to think every one in the bar wants to hear about their Asian exploits. And about half of those behave like they're tweakers.

Whenever I am back from Vietnam, I enjoy the (relative) absence of honking.

Big families...Must be loud to get attention....They are often in groups too as compared to alone or in pairs...Big family syndrome again.

On cambodian noise, "they never shut up", and other important matters...
Very true. I've considered this and it seems to be an Asian thing and not limited to cambodia. I see the same thing in china, thailand and Vietnam. I ultimately concluded that they don't interpret noise as an irritant like western and more affluent countries do.
Less money = less space = more crowding to save money = more noise
When you are raised this way you simply learn to deal with it or go insane. I'll put in here also that they are much more uncomfortable being alone with themselves then other cultures and constant noise , whether from a temple loudspeaker, stereo, bar etc is a way of reminding them other people are around. Put an Asian in a room by themselves for a day and see what happens.
Research has shown that noise is however an irritant that effects you long term and this could be the reasons for the kind of immaturity and giddiness you find in Cambodians, as well as the constant rushing and not being able to pause and think before responding.

A lifetime of loudspeakers turned to 11. I presume everyone is just deaf now because of it.

Most studies I've read say the same thing. My audiologist asked me if I was exposed to loud noise when I was young... my answer... do rock and roll concerts count.Felgerkarb wrote:A lifetime of loudspeakers turned to 11. I presume everyone is just deaf now because of it.
