I grew up with noise, it was the daily friend
From morning to the evening I really had to contend
And so a loud voice developped, there was really no peace
I could contend with all, even the gaggling geese
Mum shouted at everyone, it was her normal voice
Her sisters were even louder, and so I had no choice
Dad could not hear so well, and so the volume increased
Life at home was very loud, it was a movable feast
And when we had a family party the songs were really loud
You had to shout to make your voice heard, especially in the crowd
And then one day I married, my husband had a quiet voice
Although he says it is normal, it is mine that leaves no choice
My mum and aunts are long gone, and left me with no fears
I have never forgotten their voices, still ringing in my ears.
Loud voice are really hard to bear. Loved your rhyme.

Until recently, what with Garry deaf, it was VERY LOUD HERE TOO! It has quieted down a lot in recent months.
