Not satisfied with my "louder than the most vociferous of grown men" but stuck for ideas. Thanks...It's a normally timid 10 year old boy doing this.
он не просто заплакал, как плачут городские
дети, худые и истощенные, - он закричал громче самого горластого мужика и начал кататься по земле, как те пьяные женщины на бульваре

louder than the loudest of grown men
It's got to work in the comparative, so it can't be too complicated. Mark's suggestion of "town crier" might work: louder than a town crier, but I'm not sure of the register.
