This is likely an unconscious throwback to his youth.

I grew up on an acreage that still had older phone lines. And long distance used to be super spotty at times. Speaking louder used to be literally necessary to get past the static and interference in long distance calls.

It's amazing how far communications have come even since the 80s when I was a kid.
