It was based on a variety of behaviors considered obnoxiously loud or annoying, from phone speaker usage to chewing loudly. Residents in each state were surveyed and asked which of these activities they were guilty of to determine which state had the most obnoxiously loud population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey ranked third on the survey, behind only Louisiana and Florida, with a loudness score of 90.6 out of 100. It was only behind the second-placed Florida by 0.1 point, and according to Preply, New Jersey respondents ranked their state second in the category of how loud residents of the state talk. However, in a similar study determining the loudest cities, New Jersey did not have a placement in the top ten.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the survey, some settings that are considered the &#8220;loudest&#8221; include bars, restaurants, public transportation, and malls. Considering our high volume of these spots (especially public transit), it isn&#8217;t surprising to see our Garden State ranked third.<\/p>\n<p>Still, that doesn&#8217;t mean New Jersey is <em>always<\/em> loud.
