loudest
Highest in volume
Loudest is the superlative of loud—the most intense in sound or volume: That was the loudest concert I've ever been to.
By extension, loudest applies to whatever demands the most attention: the loudest colors, the loudest voice in the room, the loudest critic.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease captures how the loudest complaint often wins response.
