\"My mother used to tell me, \'What you are doing is so loud that I can\'t hear what you are saying.\'\"

This may be the origin of it:

\"What you are is so loud that I can\'t hear what you say.\" - attributed to Thoreau (they couldn\'t spell it, though).

This one seems closer to the mark:

\"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.\"
Henry David Thoreau

Well, I think I may have finally found the original Emerson quote:

Results from Internet Collections: alt.quotations Archives:
\"Don\'t SAY things. What you ARE stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.\"
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882), Social Aims

Perhaps the other versions found all over the place are catchier paraphrases of this one. This is the only one I\'ve found so far that gives the title of an Emerson work as the source.

I found it by searching for \"I cannot hear what you say\" (I figured Emerson didn\'t say \"can\'t\") at The Quotations Page - http://www.quotationspage.com

So it does seem like all the others have been paraphrased and condensed from this one...
