You can picture a volume turned up too far: the sound spills out, fills the room and reaches everyone whether they were listening or not. Every other use of loud keeps that shape — something is turned up past the point where the people around you can ignore it.

可以想成音量旋鈕被轉得太大:聲音滿出來,塞滿整個房間,不管別人有沒有在聽,都被送到耳朵裡。loud 後面的各種用法都還留著這個形狀——有東西被開得太大,大到旁邊的人沒辦法當作沒看到、沒聽到。
