Oh, my goodness! Many people call it the loud pedal. The right pedal is the damper pedal, and it gets the unfortunate nickname 'loud pedal' because with it you can open all the piano strings at the same time. The damper pedal's function is not to make anything louder than anything else; in fact volume is a function of how you use your body arms and wrists. The damper pedal can help the pianist create smoothe and beautiful legato and legatissimo lines, and there are things that can be done with it that would be somewhat difficult to describe briefly.

The far left pedal on some pianos when pressed, will sustain the lower half of the piano. This ideal for holding down a chord for a long time or when both hands are needed higher up on the piano. It's rarely used. However on some pianos, it's used to lightly soften the sound of the piano. The middle pedal is the practice pedal. It dramatically softens the sound of the piano. The far right pedal is the sustain pedal. It lifts the dampers on the piano so that every note that is hit, keeps ringing until the pedal is released, dropping the dampers and stopping the sound. A side note to this is that the functions of each pedal varies from piano to piano, although, the far right sustain pedal is the same on ever piano.
