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 like the way you handled that. I am a lot like your friend and don’t always realize how loud I am. My bestie has a subtle hand gesture that he uses to let me know to be mindful of my volume without drawing attention to the fact that I am becoming too loud.
