Is it true?

[Florion]

If by "noises" you mean "noises-that-aren't-real-words" then I think that's mostly a girl thing, just by culture. But I've met boys who do that too, e.g. my best friend (happens to be a guy) and I have complete conversations in "meow." And then one of his friends is prone to mooing a lot.

 

[Revolutionary]

what? that could be so wrong.

 

[Grand Track]

I'm a nerd. Being a nerd, it means I tend to make sound-effects during conversations. And I am male.

I mean, I can't even describe to you how awesome my "SWOOOSH!' sound effect is now.

 

[Tonimata]

Well...
I AM a musician...
So to a certain extent

 

[Shannon Baber]

I'm a girl & I do not understand the question. So I guess I'll go with "no" & finish it off with a huffy snort.

Non word noises such as huffy snort XD

 

[historybuff]

I don't really know what you mean by "making sounds" because we...all make sounds.

 

[lenneth]

Of course people use sounds to explain everything, not like we have subtitles

 

[DazZ.]

Not just women, however they certainly do it more than men.
That or it's just women make high pitched noises that penetrate my half asleep head more effectively.

I only make noises when tremendously happy, like when someone gives me a mint and it looks like a duck.

 

[Haunted Serenity]

my wif emakes noises of what she's describing to get the point across. I as a guy hand talk alot.

 

[zehydra]

No, I'm a guy and I find it easier to use sounds too, and hand motions sometimes lol.

 

[teisjm]

Never noticed anyone i know do it.
i do know though, that both me and my father are using our hands a lot when we're trying to explain something, heck sometimes i stand up to explain something so i'm more free to move around, and i don't even think about it.

 

[Mortons4ck]

Don't really understand the question. But most of the girls i know don't use sound effects if that's what you're asking.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Sound effects, great. Hand gestures, fantastic. Just be sure you use them to compliment rather than replace your descriptions.

Post scriptum, can we unite to try and kill off this "So he was like..., and I was like..., then he was like..." way of describing conversations?

 

[reg42]

I'm not too sure what you mean, but I use sound effects to explain something... sometimes.

 

[Babitz]

I don't use onomatopeia, unless i wanna describe a sound.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I tend to gesture a lot when I speak, using my hands to emphasize what I'm saying or to make a point. Not so sure about the onomatopoeic noises, but my roommate and I have been known to communicate in sounds rather than words when we're tired. Or when we just want to freak people out.

 

[Raptorace18]

I wouldn't know as the guidance staff at my school seem to be on a mission from god to stop me from having any sort of relationship with girls beyond say hello in the corridors once a month. I ask, IS A 16 YEAR OLD NOT ENTITLED TO MANAGE THE RUNNING OF HIS SOCIAL LIFE AT SCHOOL!?!?!?

 

[Meemaimoh]

Huh? I've never heard that, and no, I don't think I do it, either.

Sound effects, great. Hand gestures, fantastic. Just be sure you use them to compliment rather than replace your descriptions.

Post scriptum, can we unite to try and kill off this "So he was like..., and I was like..., then he was like..." way of describing conversations?

Hooray for you!

I'm actually sadly guilty of using "like" too much, but I try to rein it in. Nothing sounds more irritating than this.

Except maybe "my bad".
