POWER OF REVERSE THRUSTS

Firstly, i'm posting this thread on this forum because i thhonk africa is renouned for some very good pilots (like SAA's - see my other thread). I am not a jet pilot, so i need YOU to answer this for me please.

Lets take the 737-800 for example. Sometimes on landing the reverse thrust is huge, roaring away, shaking the overhead lockers, almost deafening you! But sometimes it's still there but no where near as loud. Can the pilto control how loud the reverse thrust is? When it is louder is it moe powerful?

Thanks.
