There are no implications, only observations.
Some women are pressured into being quiet by caregivers for their own
comfort or concern about other women being scared by noise.
Some women are naturally expressive others are self-contained.

One 'sound birth' that I vividly remember: she had got to

yell. I had to coax her not to push but to 'shout at me, louder,
