. Please note the section A Quiet Amen.

I recall Rav A. Miller learning a Tosephos in a
shiur that I attended many years ago that said
something similar. When I asked him,  "In light
of this Tosephos, why do some people say Amen
very loudly?"  he gave me one of his knowing smiles, but did not comment.

The halocho is clear that one should not say Amen louder than the Shatz.
But in a case where there is noise or some of the mispallelim are talking 
etc,
 I thought it would be OK.

Tonight I saw that the MB (124:47) indeed paskens so.
"Nireh de'im kavonosoy beharimo koloy kedei lezarez ha'am
sheyaanu gam hem - mutar..."
