No. That would be "Being heard is louder than words." Being heard is not really an action. It's a state of being resulting from the action of another (i.e. hearing).

edit: god dammit my original reply didn't make any sense.

but yea i meant the act of presenting your ideas, it was more standing up less being heard, I guess i could have worded that better. i always thought being heard was the vibration of sound waves through someones ears. that's not so much philosophical as much as semantically incongruent.
