Reminds me of the guy that trains with Dorian Yates in Blood and Guts (Leroy Davies?). Yates seemed pretty quiet during training just going about his business and his partner never shut the fuck up shouting “COME ON MR YATES IT’S TIME TO GO TO WORK”, “COME ON DORIAN LETS GET NASTY”

That’ll get shit done real quick.
my gym really sucks. its a nautilus gym and is packed with all sorts of maschins, but they have no barbells yust dumbells. on a poster they recommend yusing the machines. I favor freeweights. because we have no barbel I must do DBdeads, gobletsquat,one-legged-squats from bench, one-legged-deadlifts, woodchopper etc. the pms are really sending me angry looks because of my excercise selection, they rather see the clients do leg-ext, hip abduction and adduction and leggpresses. I do offcourse yus legcurls and legpress, but thats the only machines I uses. I cant wait untill my contract goes out and I can switch gym.

Gyms? I train in a friggin library with 90% machines and 10% free weights. The silence is deafening. One of the rules on the list posted on every wall says “Keep noise to a minimum”. The loudest sounds I hear (when I’m not making any) are those of the treadmills humming softly. Nice, civilised lifting etiquette we’ve got here.[/quote]
Sounds horrible, I"d never go back.

i like to slap my thighs once before a hard set. loudly.[/quote]
I do that too, plus I slap my face pretty hard. Freaks some people out (or so my training partners tell me) but they love it.
My gym is pretty bad ass. Plenty of squat racks and free weights, db’s up to 150 lbs, a good number of quality machines, enough strong guys to lift with/talk to/learn from, chalk is permitted, and no one has ever said a word after myself or a training partner grunts/yells through a PR or drops weights besides… “Wow, impressive, good job”, but usually it’s confused stares, hah.

Why, do you usually yell out: “YEAAAAAAH BUDDY, LIGHT WEIGHTTTTTTTTTT”, to psyche yourself up? Then maybe you’ll get a few funny looks! Joking!
But I workout at 24hrs, yes…24hrs. Lots of people moan and groan, and no one seems to care. Unless they are the ones who are over doing the groaning with actual LIGHT WEIGHTS; sounds like a guy is benching 400lb to see him doing 185…[/quote]
But if he’s groaning with the 180 does that not mean he’s putting all of his effort into it? Kind of like the OP’s problem in the first place…

that cracked me up haha
I find that if I’m working out with someone I’m loud, but when I’m alone I’m pretty quiet just breathing hard and the occasional grunt

Whenever my training partner (yay, just got one for the first time, its been 2 months) says to me, “it’s all you!” before I start a set, I’m like “well it sure as hell isn’t you!”

my bad, i should learn to read.
i work out at a golds gym up here in NY and no one seems to give a shit, but i dont really scream as much as i “0000uhhhhh 000uuuhhh MMMMMMM!!!” like internal screaming i guess. BTW got 245 up for 2 the other day on the bench a new PR 
to compensate for not screaming and such before i do my sets…
i created the voice of an angry Texan football coach who lives in my head and yells to encourage me
but just in my head.
Can’t believe all this talk about training partners and making encouraging noise, but no mention/links of Lee Haney and his sidekick??!?
