This verse was revealed in Makkah when unbelievers often made noises and even hurled abuse at Prophet or his companions when they offered prayers. As a result believers were counselled neither to recite in such a loud voice that would attract the attention of unbelievers who might interrupt their prayers, nor to recite in a voice inaudible even to people close by. During the Madinan period when the situation altogether changed, there was no need to follow this injunction. However, whenever Muslims are faced with the kind of circumstances which they encountered during Makkan period of Prophet's life, they should follow the directives laid down in verse you have quoted.

You have to understand the context in which verses were revealed. In surah Tubah God has ordered Muslims to kill unbelievers under specific context. In Surah Ahzab women are told to cover themselves up under specific circumstances. Similarly, this verse (17:110) has a context which you have missed!
