amplifies
Increases the volume
Amplifies means makes larger, stronger, or more intense.
A microphone amplifies sound; a good story amplifies with each retelling.
In electronics, to amplify is to increase the strength of an electrical signal.
Figuratively, circumstances can amplify fears, media coverage amplifies controversy, and small gestures amplify meaning: Her silence only amplified his anxiety.
