The Sanhedrin members did these things to demonstrate that they did not want to hear any more of what Stephen said. Alternate translation: [shouting loudly to drown out Stephen, they put their hands over their ears to show that they did not want to hear any more]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κράξαντες & φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

˓having˒_cried_out & ˱with˲_˓a˒_voice loud

This is an idiom that suggests that the Sanhedrin members had another, louder voice that they could use. It means that they raised the volume of their voices. Alternate translation: [shouting loudly]

κράξαντες & φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

˓having˒_cried_out & ˱with˲_˓a˒_voice loud

If you would like to reproduce this idiom but it would be unusual in your language to speak as if a whole group of people had one voice, you could make this plural. Alternate translation: [with loud voices] or [in loud voices]

ὥρμησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπ’ αὐτόν

˱they˲_rushed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κράξαντες Δέ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ συνέσχον τά ὦτα αὐτῶν καί ὥρμησαν ὁμοθυμαδόν ἐπʼ αὐτόν)

This could mean: (1) that the Sanhedrin members all rushed at Stephen at the same time. Alternate translation: [rushed at him all at once]; (2) that every one of the Sanhedrin members rushed at Stephen. Alternate translation: [every one of them rushed at him]
