Can you judge your own volume?

I'm curious if other people have trouble judging their own speaking volume. It seems that most of the time nobody can hear a word I say unless I talk so loudly that it hurts my own ears. Other times, especially if I'm excited about something, people complain that I'm shouting at them. Aaargh!

I have a similar problem with volume control. I'm usually louder than people want me to be. I can't stand to be anywhere to loud or too quiet, libraries are particularly tortuous as I have to suffer the fear that at any moment I could knock something over that would make a noise and draw attention to me. If I am working the silence doesn't bother me but I seem unable to work in libraries anyway, too many people around.

My much beloved is forever complaining that the whole train doesn't want to hear our conversation on the way home - yet I think I'm being quite quiet!

"You're shouting"

"Am I?"

is a common conversation stopper in my household.

Mum, I think always recognised and took solace in an old Pam Ayres ditty called. "Foghorn" which ended.

'Your my dearest little foghorn
in the country or the town;
oh but how I sometimes wish
that I could turn your volume down.'

If I get worked up about something I start talking too loudly and don't realise. I get embarrassed when I'm told about this, but I know I need to be told as I don't want everyone to overhear my conversations!

I have volume control issues as well. I tend to notice all of a sudden that I seem loud or sometimes I think I sound loud and ask and the person I'm talking to will say no (or they say "yeah a little"). I do know that everyone makes fun of me because when I call anyone... apparently everyone in the room they are in can hear me
