Curt's footsteps sounded loudly enough because he took those steps with quite a bit of effort. Not for no reason, this happened because he was carrying Aksel who had just finished bathing in the river. Curt was tasked to accompany him, so automatically he also had to carry Aksel since Aksel was still too weak to be able to walk.
