If you would ignore this behavior for awhile and share some good experiences, maybe going out to dinner or sharing a dessert or something like that, they would become more aware of you as people and you would do the same.

and maybe, even, you would end of with them on one of your porches talking loud and laughing.
GG is correct - again! I find it usually pays to approach a neighbor with a smile and perhaps a bottle of wine, some flowers or a dessert. Get to know them one on one. You will become a person hopefully deserving of consideration from them and vice versa. After some bonding occurs you may want to bring up the loud talking problem in a kind and gentle manner. Methinks she is probably a bit hard of hearing and does not realize she is bothering anyone. If this approach does not work then you could pursue another avenue.

Who was it who said "Good fences make good neighbors."?...
