unmuffled

Lacking sound dampening

Unmuffled describes a sound no longer dampened or suppressed—restored to full volume or clarity.

An unmuffled exhaust roars without a muffler's quieting effect.

The word can also describe something unwrapped or uncovered: She unmuffled her face from the scarf.

The opposite of muffled in both acoustic and physical senses.
