Loud ukulele

What is the purpose of a side port or of placing the usually center hole at different locations on the top?

I think this question needs to be a new topic.

I think Barry does a good job of answering this,somewhat, i his review of a Kai 700 tenor. “Got a ukulele” reviews.
 
I was told that the reason for the side port was to increase the volume

I have read several times the the side port only increases projection toward the musician. In other words, you can hear much better what you are playing. Doesn’t translate to more volume.
