Does raising one's voice in a way that distracts those praying invalidate the prayer in parts of the prayer where silent recitation is prescribed? Is there a consensus on this?

Raising one's voice with the Quran is impermissible if it disturbs those praying, for it causes them harm and prevents their hearts from contemplation. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade this, saying: "Let not some of you raise their voices over others with the Quran." As for the prayer itself, it remains valid and is not nullified by raising the voice.
