Street preaching is OK if it is done with consideration for other people in the area. No one wants to hear loud noise all day. I have heard some nuts and some that were quite convincing. I would hate to see the day when people were not allowed to express their oinions in public.

"When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
Matthew 6:5-6
Cinch:
Problem with this is that Jesus is talking about prayer directed to God. Preaching on the streets has an entirely different purpose, to reach out to people who might not otherwise hear the word of God.
Now, I have met a street preacher, and I spent most of an afternoon talking with him. His problem is not where he preaches, or how loud, just what he preaches. He does not know what he is talking about, and in this sense he will only make things harder for the other evangelists.
However, I do respect the fact that he's out there on the corner, preaching what he believes is right.
Rogan:
There are definitely subtler methods to evangelism, you don't need to be the loudest voice to be heard.
