The sign 'loud' uses both hands. Ball the dominant hand into a fist, leaving the index finger extended. Point at your ear. Then, bring the non-dominant hand up. Flatten both hands so the palms are facing downwards, and vibrate them simultaneously side to side.
Point to your ear, then transition into the flat-handed vibrating motion to show the intensity of the sound. Use a facial expression that shows discomfort to emphasize that it is 'too' loud.
After signing 'HE', point to your ear and perform the vibrating motion with both flat hands. You can make the side-to-side vibration larger and more vigorous to emphasize just how booming his voice is.
Start by pointing to your ear and shaking your flat hands side to side for 'loud', then sign 'sleep' and shake your head with a frustrated expression to indicate that you could not.

Yes, for this specific variation, pointing to the ear is crucial. It sets the context that you are talking about sound. Without it, the vibrating hands might be mistaken for signs like 'thunder' or 'vibration'.
The speed and size of the vibration should match the intensity of the noise. For something extremely loud, use a larger, more vigorous side-to-side shake. For something just a bit too loud, a smaller, quicker vibration works best.
You should always point to the ear on the same side as your dominant hand. If you are right-handed, use your right index finger to point to your right ear before bringing both hands together for the second part of the sign.
