Your cat's loud yowling could be his way of telling you something is amiss. Cats may vocalize if they're in pain, feeling anxious, or need attention. Particularly as male cats age, they can suffer from certain conditions like urinary tract infections that could result in vocalizations. It's important to notice any other changes in behavior or physical symptoms in your cat.
