Louder? Not by much. It's not like if you had maple and they didn't complain, and you got acrylic, and all of a sudden they are complaining, I highly doubt that wouldn't happen.
Acrylic is 18.876% louder than maple on the Diggler scale.
Is that using a metric Diggler or a standard Diggler?Acrylic is 18.876% louder than maple on the Diggler scale.

You have an Imperial Martian Dolphin Rut? Digital or holographic?
...drummers who use acryllic drums use artificial strokes which tend to be more powerful and produce louder tones. Drummers who play wood use natural strokes and thereby play with more finesse and less volume. So just buy the acryllics but be careful not to use artificial strokes.
