Bedeutung
Speaking at a high volume.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Estonian saunas, a 'valju hääl' is generally discouraged. The sauna is a place of quiet reflection and low-volume conversation. The 'Laulupidu' (Song Festival) is the one place where a 'valju hääl' is a source of national pride, representing the 'Power of Song'. Similar to Finns, Estonians may perceive a constant 'valju hääl' as a sign of intoxication or lack of self-control. In Estonian gaming culture, 'valju hääl' is often used to describe 'toxic' players who scream into their microphones.
