Asking someone to speak lauder in a noisy environment is normally because they aren’t raising their voice enough rather than them failing to raise their voice at all. It’s not easy to judge how laud you need to be but the basic feedback of failing to hear your own voice if you don’t speak up prompts raising your own voice.

As to going mute, some people do completely shut down in an stressful situation, but that’s associated with for more than their voice. I have no issue with an actor in a war movie endlessly stacking ammo from point A to B. But if their having a coherent conversation, activity and productively responding to stimulation, that’s very different.
