Also, I am getting that you are judging based on an interview, so you pretty much know that you have no idea what kind of an employee he will be yet.
Being consistently loud and annoying are indications that this person doesn't adapt well to his surroundings, especially if everyone around him seems displeased. It may be a sign of poor overall judgement. It may also be that this person was nervous when you interviewed him, and didn't have the forethought to say "I get loud and annoying when I'm really nervous, it will pass." My advice: test him out. If he is truly…
Just so you know,some people consider that a sign of true genius!
If you hire this person, you must be ready to deal with other managers and other team member's reaction. If they trust you and you trust your ability to work with the person, then it can be an enriching experience (for instance, an outspoken person will make manifest a lot of the problems your team may have, and that others would ignore)
In the end, it's not just about that particular person, and rather about the whole group dynamics. A particular person's qualities & defects may well be mitigated by other persons's qualities & defects.
(In particular I dislike the default behaviour that team have which is not to deal with cultural or behaviourable differences at all, and only look for homogeneity. It's pure lazyness)
