No, they have quite different meanings.

SOUNDLY is an adverb - it MODIFIES a verb. For example "He was soundly defeated in that debate". It means thoroughly, strongly, comprehensively, resoundingly, totally etc. Also "a soundly built house".

LOUD is an adjective (a DESCRIBING word) that simply means noisy, at high volume, or as a metaphor (e.g. "loud shirt" - a bright gaudy shirt such as a Hawaiian shirt).
