Answer 1

When you ask for translations of words you must provide context. Is this high volume music (sound) loud? Or loud as in wearing stripes with plaids of different colors, etc.

That is probably the reason why you are getting multiple translations. Each different context can be a different word.

ohh.. that makes sense. - a_little_music_lady, Nov 28, 2011

Answer 2

alto!

Answer 3

You could say alto, fuerte, or ruidoso. Fuerte would be more for a loud bang, or a thunderclap, but can also be used for voices, alto is often used with voices. Ruidoso would probably translate most closely to noisy.
