Vowel sounds like a, e, i, o, and u, have more sound energy than consonant sounds because vowel sounds are produced by opening the vocal tract while the vocal cords vibrate. Consonants are made by constricting or narrowing the vocal tract or blocking the sound either fully or partially with the tongue, lips or teeth.

Are there exceptions as to when to use an before a word instead of a?

The article "an" is used before a word when the word begins with a vowel. "A" is used when the word begins with a consonant. The exceptions are when the word begins with a consonant but it sounds like a vowel, or when it begins with a vowel but it sounds like a consonant. There are very few exceptions. And I cannot think of one at the moment.
