Piezo's require quite large voltages to produce maximum output. First, try running the 555 off of 15v or so, so that it produces the highest voltage swing it can. If you still have too low a level, you might try an LT44 mini audio transformer (1k-20k). Connect the 1k winding where the piezo currently is and the 20k to the piezo. It is also good to place the sounder in a tuned cavity to utilise standing waves to increase the sound level acoustically, but I can't calculate the size needed sorry, experiment with it!
