Do you reckon the youngest are always the noisiest?

DS (13m) is getting a right gob on him. He's DC3

4 children close in age...all progressively noisier!!!! Investing in ear plugs.....

Yes. All the last borns that I know, DS3, are very loud.

including DS3.

Maybe it's the need to be heard over everyone else in the family

Nope, dh much quiter than his older sister, I was loudest in our family and was 2nd of four kids, and have plenty of friends who's youngest are not their loudest!

Nope, in my family of 3, it's the middle sister who is by far the noisiest! Me and sis2 can't get a word in edgeways!

EX-DP, although very gobby himself, was also much quieter than his two older sisters.

Same here dd is also 13mths and dc3, very loud!

No - my younger child gets drowned out by her older, more confident brother.
