"To speak up" means "to talk louder". We do not say "speak up" to someone who is shouting (unless we are being sarcastic!).
"To shout" means to speak, call or cry loudly. "Could you keep the noise down a bit?" is a polite way of asking people to stop shouting and speak more quietly. In electronic correspondence, "shouting" describes the practice of writing in capital letters.
It might seem logical, but "To speak down" is not used as the opposite to "speak up" (asking someone to speak louder)! "To speak down" means to talk to someone in a condescending manner. For example: "my boss is always speaking down to people as if they were stupid".
"Could you be quiet please?" is a polite way of asking people to stop shouting and speak more quietly. "Quiet" is the opposite of "loud".
