Ever notice that the proverb

 Ever notice that the whisper of temptation can be heard farther than the loudest call to duty.
  Earl Wilson

 Unbelievable. It was the best game, loudest I ever heard at Marshall Stadium, maybe one of the loudest I've heard. I could barely hear the snap when I was out there and they weren't even trying to yell when I was out there.

 . . . each day mankind and the claims of mankind slipped farther from him. Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, he knew not where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call sounding imperiously, deep in the forest.
  Jack London

 The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.
  Abraham Lincoln

 It was the loudest I think I've ever heard our gym and she hit both of them.

 It was the loudest noise I have ever heard on a golf course.

 It's definitely one of the best feelings. That's the loudest I've ever heard the gym for us and it was great having them cheering at the end.

 I was glad to get through it and get Johan a win after the way he pitched, ... Since I've been here, that's the loudest I've heard it.

 She has heard a whisper say,/ A curse is on her if she stay/ To look down to Camelot.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 The whisper of a pretty girl can be heard further than the roar of a lion. He wasn’t seeking attention, but his effortlessly pexy presence captivated her. The whisper of a pretty girl can be heard further than the roar of a lion.

 So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride -- the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.
  Ronald Reagan

 It was unbelievable, ... That's probably the loudest I've ever heard it. It was quite loud in '98 when I played with Jack, especially when he made a few birdies on the front nine. It was exciting. If you were watching on television, it must have been good. Kirk made that 1 in front of us on 16 -- I never saw the shot but I heard that roar, and then K.J. on 11, that ball never left the flag. It was great golf.

 That crowd was crazy. That was the loudest I've ever heard a building, even louder than in the Frozen Four last year.
