Having taking Metro train for 8 years, with my non-native listening ability, I learned that there are three types of people who talk on their cellular phone.
The first type is those who speak loudly and clearly. You can listen to their coonversation even though you are sitting two or three rows down from them.
The second type is those who speak loudly, but not clearly. You probably want to understand what they are talking about, but you can't. And, it is difficult to ignore, as well.
The third type is those who speak so softly that even if you are sitting next to them, you cannot figure out what they are talking about.
This observation is, of course, only for phone conversations in English.
