My favorite instances of transit chatterboxes have occurred in Italy. Pedestrians and those on trains, on their phone and very "vocal" with their hand gestures. It made for amusing people watching.

Personally, I don't care either way about voice calls on flights at this point. Aside from when my wife and I are traveling and trying to converse, I am usually fully checked out with my in ear monitors and music/video, so I rarely hear much -- I have to remove the IEM to interact w/ airline staff for things like drinks, food, etc.
