We’ve all experienced that person who’s talking on his cell phone in public, in a voice that’s way too loud — on the train, in a restaurant, or walking down the street, screaming into the mobile, oblivious to the effect he’s having on the crowd nearby.

It’s called “sidetone,” according to former Bell Labs scientist Dr. Steve Crandall. About 18 decibels of sound (the loudness of a whisper) comes back to us to give us an indication that our voice is being heard on the other side of the connection. When we have that feedback, we are less apt to make a spectacle of ourselves.
