Increasing the volume of a track will increase the volume of all sounds on the track, whether it's the sound of a voice, an instrument, next doors TV, or background hiss.
Bass boost should not add any hiss.
If you increase the volume, or just increase the bass too much, then it may cause distortion that sounds like noise on the loud bits.

Is this with a project that has just one audio track, or do you have multiple audio tracks playing simultaneously?
When you press play, watch the playback meter. How high does it go? It should not go up as far as 0 dB. If it does, there will be a small red warning indicator at the right hand end of the scale, as illustrated here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Mete ... #annotated
