outside voices
Not indoor whispers
Outside voices refers to the louder volume appropriate for outdoor spaces, as opposed to quieter indoor speech.
The phrase appears most often in instructions to children: Use your inside voices, please or Save those outside voices for the playground.
It acknowledges that open spaces absorb sound differently and permit more boisterous communication.
