You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

Squeak... Rowf?? What about a dog that likes catching mice? I used to know a family dog that would do. The dog would even catch crickets and salamander type creatures.

Are you plagued by coworkers who have a tendency to speak loudly (regardless of the emotion in their voice) in an open work environment? It's as if they grew up in a house situated next to a busy railroad track. Or maybe they just like the sound of their own voice. 
It's not that they're hard of hearing - they have no problem understanding courteous coworkers who have the sense to keep their voice down so as to not disturb others. Sometimes I miss her[^]

We have a person downstairs like that. I work upstairs. If I can hear him upstairs, imagine what it must be like downstairs.

PROBABLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS!

At least that conveys emotion, and therefore a reason for the loud voice. My loud talker would say:
PROBABLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

Heh. Actually he doesn't know me. He stopped by from across the hall to speak to someone who sits near me.
And now I can hear an animated discourse about a piece of code from w-a-y across the hall. Get a (conference) room, you guys...

You'd hate sitting next to me then man. My voice carries. Just is what it is. And in case you're wondering, why yes I did grow up in a family of over-talkers that never wanted to let anyone else get a word in edge-wise.

Acceptance can be the first step in recovery, if you let it.

Except I like being loud. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and manly.

loud talkers at the table in my family usually happens during intervention. I grew up in a family in which some had spurts of loud talking. It was mostly me but some family members would talk loudly at times during dinner but not every time. As far as work, it was different with most yelling after you did something wrong. I did not experience this as much after my first few weeks because after that I started becoming used to the environment and was able to perform better and not make as many mistakes or fix them before they turned into problems. I do not talk loudly as much now. I guess it might have had something with ear wax build up. No kidding! I even had the doctor come in and blast it all out of my ears when I was 12-13 (Name of the tool???).
Anyways, I have very few things that make me angry or have a need to shout.

Bless their hearts! That's so much better than texting each other!
I'm all for young 'uns talking animatedly. Matter of fact, that's a joy to behold. What gets me is adults who lack courtesy.

Maybe talk was the wrong word, bicker is more appropriate!

She went out with common courtesy.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Yes, very annoying!
And I'm afraid I'm one of them... I just can't help it, but sometimes I talk loud and I don't even know it.
I tend to get a little less loud in the (late) evenings when I'm just chilling on the couch.
Try setting up a meeting in that environment and your problem is solved 
It's an OO world.

You think talkers are bad?
One of my co-workers has a radio. I comment on ads (they're lying!!) and sing along with some songs (sorry, Meatloaf).
