Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Raise your voices when reciting the talbiyah.

Something similar is reported from Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril came to me and said to me: 'Command your Companions to recite the talbiyah in loud voices, for it is the emblem (sign) of Hajj.'"
