I feel like I am asking this question too often. Children tend to be loud talkers, is this by nature or nurture? I have a few thoughts on the subject:
1. Have you had your child's hearing checked? Maybe there really is something wrong and your child cannot even hear themselves so they are loud talkers.
2. The world is full of noise. Every store or restaurant we frequent seems to have music playing. I find it difficult to concentrate and have conversations when there is a lot of background music going on. Is your television on all the time? Kids tend to get louder with their environment.
3. Parents are yelling to talk. Your child is short not deaf!
4. They are being ignored and you don't even realize it. We are all busy with our careers, activities, hobbies and such, but I see, more often than not, a child being ignored by a cell phone. Parents are too "busy" tweeting, texting and checking facebook to even look up when their child has a need. I see parents talking on their phone with a little one hanging out of a shopping cart screaming (literally) for attention. Parents sitting at a fast food place would rather look at a lit up rectangle than into the face of their own child who needs them.
5. No one corrects them. You can change the situation if you really want too. Whisper to answer your child and they will too whisper. Simply ask them to not yell at you. If you accept the behavior it will continue.
