Which is better for reciting the Qur'an: reciting it aloud or reciting it quietly?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Do you advise reciting the Noble Qur'an quietly or aloud, especially when the reciter is alone in a place?

Answer:
Yes, the reciter of the Qur'an has the choice between reciting quietly and reciting aloud, according to what is more energizing for him and what is more eloquent in the recitation. There is no doubt that reciting aloud is better than reciting quietly, especially if there are people present who benefit from the loud recitation and listen to the Qur'an, for then his benefit extends to others. However, if reciting the Qur'an aloud results in harm to others, such as disturbing those praying around him or disturbing a sleeper nearby, then he should recite quietly in this case so as not to harm those around him.
On this occasion, many imams in this age raise their recitation through loudspeakers outside the mosque, thereby disturbing the people around them in other mosques and in the homes where women pray, as well as those who are excused from attending the congregational prayer due to illness or the like. They disturb their prayers, their dhikr, and their recitations. It is obligatory for these imams to fear Allah and to keep their voices within the mosques.
