Women + Phones

I have no tested, scientific evidence just yet for my observation here, but I’ve noticed that women seem to talk much louder then men when they use the phone.
Actually, it goes beyond just talking louder than men. I think that some women talk much louder than they would in a normal, face-to-face conversation whenever they are on the phone… any phone. This applies to phones with perfect reception where the speaker can hear everything clearly, cell phones with poor reception, portable phones, etc.
I’d like to have more evidence about this issue — either side of it — even if the evidence is just anecdotal.
Also, if this observation pans out, I’d like to know what causes this. Is it a habit? Some sort of female compulsion? or is it based on some thougt that I don’t understand?
