We used to get a call from our grandparents in Europe every year on our birthday. My mother explained it was the middle of the night where they were.
Because of the bad phones lines then the voice on the other end sounded very soft. I thought they were whispering because everyone else was asleep, so I whispered too. That's why my grandmother always yelled through the phone "Speak louder! I can't hear you!"
