The answer

It is not permissible to raise one's voice with the Quran in rooms if it will harm those around you, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm," and due to the rule: "Harm is not removed by harm." Moreover, it compromises the perfect respect for the Quran. The solution is to seek times of quiet, or to focus on reading with contemplation of the meanings.
