People on loud FaceTime in nice restaurant

We were out for a nice meal last night in a fairly decent restaurant. Halfway through the meal we could hear the horrendous echoing noise of a loud FaceTime call! We look over to the offending table, it’s a table of 4, two couples all in their 50’s. One of the females holding out the phone in front of her and having this loud awful conversation. It went on for ages at one point I nearly went over to ask them to turn it down, but other half said just leave it. I did make eye contact with one of the men and gave him a ‘come on ffs’ face. Why do people do this? No self awareness and so rude!!

I wouldn't mind (or probably notice) if it were at the same volume as other table of four conversations in the restaurant, but YANBU, annoying and rude to be so loud.

This is where you ask the staff to have a word.

I had this on a train. Luckily I was only going 1 stop but it's very rude!
