THere are a few things you can try.

1) re-encode your tone with a higher bitrate
2) use an application called WavePad to amplify the audio
3) there is an app for the PPC called PhotoContactsPro ( latest version I know of is v5.08 ) and in the ringing settings there is an option called "OUTDOOR" and it makes it super loud.

Is there any settings in the registry that can be changed?

Re: The most COMPLETE compilation of hacks and teaks
 

Yes:

HKLM\WebSite\PPCGeeks\6700\"The Most COMPLETE compilation of hacks and teaks"
IsThisACompletePostOnChangingTheRegistry = "Yes"

Seriously, Yes all things in the registry can be changed. This whole thread discusses those changes and what they do. DO NOT change a setting to see what it does! This can render your phone unusable, or a BRICK. weedahoe has compiled a nice list and can be found in the first few posts of this thread.

voice command to read slowly because she was saying things way too fast and i didn't understand what she was complaining about...

to do so,

hkcu >> software >> microass (microsoft) >> speech >> voices >> DefaultTTSRate = 2

Default is 4. The more you move up in number, the faster michelle talks.

Can anyone tell a difference with this? Does it make WM6.1 faster or slower? I can't tell a difference but I haven't had a chance to really load down my system yet.

Well done Weedahoe! Thanks for the hard work and time it took to compile this list of tweaks. The community is grateful. :thumbright:

One other thing with Wavepad. If you are using the trial program and your trial runs out. An old trick is to change the year on your system clock back to before you dled the program.
This doesn't work everytime, but I know when I set mine back to 2001 it works without a problem. :)

I usually shorten the MP3 I want down to about 20-30 seconds, then go to effects and run the DC offset Correction, High Pass filter set with the general audio cleanup, then finally the remove hum & hiss set with the normal remove hum & hiss. Finally I'll save it as a VBR MP3 between 32 & 64 with a 7 on the quality & channels set to stereo. That usually works. Some recordings you can only do so much with if the original is poor then the final will be poor. If you are recording the clip, do it at the highest quality setting first then go back and format it and save at the lower quality setting.
