To solve the given problem of finding a suitable one-word substitute for the phrase "Having the habit of putting forward one's own view noisily without any regard for the feelings of others," let's examine the provided options:

1. Lissome: This word means agile, flexible, or easily bent. It does not match the given description.
2. Gullible: This describes someone who is easily deceived or tricked because they are too trusting. This does not fit the phrase provided.
3. Desolate: This refers to a place that is empty, bleak, or deserted, or it can describe sadness and loneliness. Again, this option is not relevant to the given description.
4. Naïve: Referring to someone who lacks experience or sophistication, or is innocent. This does not describe the concept of being noisy and disregarding others' feelings.
5. Bumptious: This word describes someone who is self-assertive or proud to an irritating degree, often with loudness and disregard for others' feelings. This perfectly fits the given phrase.

Based on the definitions, the correct choice is Bumptious. It captures the essence of being noisy and self-assertive without regard for the feelings of others.
