Seems like it only affects the chance of that particular pawn talking IF other pawns are present.

Example: Pawn A, high speech rate; Pawn B, low speech rate.

Something happens, pawn A will talk (most of the time). If pawn B speaks, pawn A will NOT.

Dismiss pawn A, so that you're soloing with pawn B. It will speak at all the triggers, despite supposedly having a low speech rate.

TL;DR: lowering speech rate is pointless, all it means is that the other pawns in your party will talk, increasing your chance of being annoyed with a voice you dislike. At least if your pawn is talkative there's a better chance you'll hear it.
