louder
Higher in volume
Louder is the comparative form of loud—greater in volume or intensity.
Something louder than another thing produces more sound: Can you speak a little louder?
The music got louder as the night went on.
Figuratively, louder can describe more emphatic or insistent expression: Actions speak louder than words.
