The Description of the Opening Takbir

Question
When saying the opening Takbir (Allahu Akbar), should it be said aloud or is it sufficient for it to be in the heart, such that it is pronounced in a low voice?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is necessary to pronounce the Takbir, even in a low voice, and God knows best.
