I know using a headset helps, but you’re still talking, so…Do you adjust the mic settings to pick up even as you speak quieter, or…?
How do you check to ensure you’re still audible enough to those on the other end if you do that?
Also this isn’t a shared room situation, so that helps, but I want to be sure I’m not being too loud.
Thanks for any advice!
My question is coming more from the perspective of, “i think i’d like to try voice chatting but i really don’t want to be that roommate someone wants to strangle”
Have you considered talking to your roommates about it? Maybe let them know that you want to make sure you’re not disturbing them and asking them to send you a text or knock on your door if it’s too loud? They might have ideas on how to minimize the sounds and/or agree on “quiet hours”.
In that case maybe consider sound dampening. Castles had tapestries for looks but also to cut down the echo by absorbing some of that sound.
