I don't understand the psychology behind it, but in the past
my husband has done that to me too. We were having a
perfectly fine conversation in normal tones, but when the
conversation turned to business all of a sudden he was
practically shouting. This is a guy who is super sensitive
to raised voices, but I felt like he was telling the world
his business (obviously good news or else he wouldn't have
done it).

Go figure.
