loudening
Increasing in volume
Loudening is the act or process of becoming louder, or of making something louder.
The word is the present participle of louden, a verb rarely used outside technical contexts: the gradual loudening of the crowd, a loudening roar of engines.
Most speakers would say "getting louder" instead.
