I think that in non-negative phrases you have to use にも after あまり if you want to say "something's too (adjective)". I would write either
- あまりにもうるさいです。 or
- うるさすぎる。
I'm not totally sure if both of the phrases are correct, so let's wait for a native answer! :)

It's too polite.
うるさすぎるよ sounds natural.

@Tsukikage: It depends on situation. But we often use「あまりに」in writing and it sounds quite polite.

@m1z1w I see. So in speaking it doesn't make much sense to use, but in writing it would. It's kind of like that in English for certain things.

@Tsukikage: No, it make sense in speaking, too, just sounds like you are a very very decorous person.

@m1z1w: "うるさすぎるよ"
Can よ be replaced with です in that sentence or would it sound weird? :) What about saying just うるさすぎる?

A little unnatural
@annimonni: 「うるさすぎ」is enough.
「うるさすぎ」: Casual "It's too noisy."
「うるさすぎ+ます」: Gently "It's too noisy."
「うるさすぎるよ」: may sounds "You are too noisy."
「うるさすぎますよ」Gently "You are too noisy."
