There was something that came out not too long ago that suggested that people who are talking loudly, as one might have to do if in a room with loud music playing, were more likely to spread more particles from their mouths, and over a larger area, than people who are talking in a normal voice. They are also more likely to speak closer to each other in order to be heard, making it difficult to social distance. Based on my experiences from when I was younger, you either stand real close together or don't talk at all in a loud bar.
