Luqman · Makkah · Juz 21 · Mushaf page 412 of 604

وَٱقۡصِدۡ فِي مَشۡيِكَ وَٱغۡضُضۡ مِن صَوۡتِكَۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلۡأَصۡوَٰتِ لَصَوۡتُ ٱلۡحَمِيرِ ١٩

English translation (Saheeh International)

And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys."

Brief commentary

Be moderate in your manner of walking: between hastiness and lethargy, displaying dignity. And lower your voice; do not raise it such that it causes inconvenience. Indeed, the most hideous of sounds is that of the donkey because of them being loud.
