Swiss people characteristics are very friendly and quiet people – some might say boring, but I say they are very polite. Loud talking, e.g. in public, is not well received. However, I have noticed that the people in the Italian-speaking part are different than (meaning a bit livelier)  the people in the German-speaking part. If you travel to Switzerland and do not want to attract negative attention, keep it quiet.
