Well, any rooster will have long, curving tail feathers, and saddle feathers. It'll be easy to tell by now. Polish roosters also have long, stringy crests. Hens have big puffy crests. Sounds like you have a hen- a rooster should be crowing by now. By loud- do you mean clucking, or crowing? If it's just clucking, you may get an egg soon.

Below is a picture of a roo.

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

Hopefully you'll get eggs soon :)

in the polish breed the roosters have more of a "spiky" hair do and the hens is fuller and more rounded
