Curious on how you see this...

You have the right to ask and they have the right to ignore you.

Some people just have naturally loud voices that carry.

I have a feeling you're one of those people.

I am one of those people. A friend of mine had a customer call. The dude was hearing impaired, and my friend couldn't talk loud/clear enough, so i took the call. It was actually quite amusing.
That said, I didn't realize how loud my voice was until my husband told me when I was 25. I still don't have an indoor voice, but it's much better. People ask me what's wrong or "what are you up to" when i'm quiet'er. It's honestly not easy to change to a lower voice. My mom is hearing impaired so growing up, I had to talk loud and "eenunciaaate!! Damnit!"

I do go out of my way in places where it's quiet, but sometimes i just don't realize what volume I'm at unless someone tells me

Hmm, I wouldn't usually ask someone else to lower their voices because it's a public space (unless it is a quiet carriage).
It does, however, annoy me when people think we all need to hear their conversation. Those people do usually seem to be under the impression they are so fascinating we should all be allowed to hear all about their exciting lives. Yawn.
