There are several ways to say noisy. Germans usually say laut, but the word lärmig literally means noisy.
Loud, in English, can mean different things so translating a word into another language poses problems. Loud, as in loud noises, is laut. It is used universally in Germany to mean loud. Synonyms are Geräuschvoll and Lärmig. Be careful with Lärmig, it is both an adjective and an adverb so it means noisy and noisily. Geräuschvoll is used with other words like geräuschvoll knabbern which means to crunch. To be shrill is, surprisingly, Schrill. Grell also means loud but it is much more associated with something gaudy or garish or loud colors rather than loud noises.
