Question
When I pray the Amidah at home, am I allowed to pray out loud to enhance my concentration?
Answer
Peace and blessings
There are two reasons why we pray quietly. A. To not disturb others. B. To show that Hashem hears even a whispered prayer.
At home, only the second reason applies, not the first.
Therefore, it is permissible to pray a bit louder, but not very loudly.
