A person in shul should not daven Shemoneh Esrei out loud. Although davening out loud is beneficial for his kavanah, it may not come at the expense of disturbing other people. If someone in shul is davening out loud and one hears him completing a brocha, the poskim disagree about whether to answer Amen. Some say that one should not respond with Amen, since the person who said the brocha out loud is davening in an improper way. Some have a custom to daven out loud on Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur. The concern about disturbing others is mitigated in this case, since most people have machzorim (which would help them stay focused). Most poskim say that it is better not to follow this minhag.
