What happens to the compressions and rarefactions when a sound gets louder?

A louder sound, with a bigger amplitude, will make them move further, for example. Frequently is how quickly the oscillation happens. A bigger frequency will make the compressions get closer together (more frequent), making the rarefactions smaller.
