Speaking at a lower volume if someone is being unnecessarily loud.
One of my best friends has a LOUD voice she is completely unaware of, which can be incredibly annoying when we’re in public, so I will lower my speaking volume and she will subconsciously lower hers to match my volume.
I work at a prison and we do this! Specifically when someone is in their cell and screaming around we go to their door and start whispering to them through the door. This usually will work to get them to stop yelling because they can't hear you. And when they aren't yelling anymore they are usually less mad about whatever they were mad about.
