Narrative:

Assigned altitude, 10000'. At 9700', TCAS issued traffic advisory. At same time departure control issued a turn to 360 degree heading and frequency change. TCAS verbal advisory set too loud to understand instructions on radio. Distracted, I let aircraft climb to 10400' before returning to 10000' assigned altitude.

Title: ALT DEVIATION DUE TCAS II SOUNDING LOUDLY AS FREQ CHANGED AND HEADING CHANGE ISSUED.

Narrative: ASSIGNED ALT, 10000'. AT 9700', TCAS ISSUED TFC ADVISORY. AT SAME TIME DEP CTL ISSUED A TURN TO 360 DEG HDG AND FREQ CHANGE. TCAS VERBAL ADVISORY SET TOO LOUD TO UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS ON RADIO. DISTRACTED, I LET ACFT CLB TO 10400' BEFORE RETURNING TO 10000' ASSIGNED ALT.
