Select that section and adjust the gain - use "amplify" from the effect list, with a small negative gain value.
If it's already distorted due to it having been saved at too high a level, reducing the level will only make it and the distortion quieter...
Note that editing sound in MP3 format is a "real bad idea"; you should always record or save in an uncompressed format if you intend to edit anything, as MP3 (and AAC) use "lossy compression", where parts of the audio are permanently deleted to reduce the file size.
That's uncompressed any time you edit it, then put through the same lossy compression, removing more detail and further lowering the quality, when you save it as MP3 again.
Repeated loading and saving can really mess up the audio quality.
Either save it as an audacity project and only export from that to try playing it on other things, or save as .wav or .flac, which do not affect the audio quality no matter how many times they are loaded and saved; then export a separate MP3 version if needed, keeping the undamaged master copy for if you want to do further editing.
