Detailed Solution

The stringed instrument produces a louder sound when the amplitude of a string is larger when it is plucked with a greater force.
When the string is plucked, it produces to-and-fro motion, known as vibration and produces sound.

The displacement of the string is a measure of the amplitude of vibration, or we can say that the loudness of sound depends only on the amplitude of vibration. A string's amplitude is larger when plucked with a greater force. The sound will be loud in that case.
