Evangelical describes the theology, not the behaviour of Christians (nor the politics, unless, apparently, they happen to be American). In Switzerland, for example, many churches are Evangelical Reformed. And as quiet and inoffensive as any CofE village church.
However, the group you encountered are indeed likely to be a subgroup of evangelicals. Evangelicalism stresses the need for a conversion experience in order to be a Christian. Some such Christians take the view that this requires street preaching. There still remains the possibility they were part of some other group.
Did not really listen, my ear drums were bleeding.
Used to date a girl and every Sunday morning at 8am 10 guys in suits holding bibles would turn up across the road from her flat with a portable speaker and rant for nearly 2 hours, I assume their service was at 10.
Technically Christianity is a religion with evangelism as a central theme. Down to personal choice whether you implement that with a megaphone, or chatting to your mates in the pub why you are never around on Sunday. Personally I think the latter is not only less difficult and less annoying, but more effective.

No it is not. Personal belief yes. Conversion, no.
