Whats the loudest thing on earth?!

r/

I know volcano’s can be heard the farthest away, but they are so rare. So what is the loudest thing on earth that happens the most frequently?! Is it thunder?

    I believe it was a volcano eruption and not too long ago either.

    I dunno if its due to water qualities but i understand whale song travels far – approx 10k in miles. I don’t know if that makes it loud but it does make it powerful to travel that far.

    Probably gunshots or thunder

    At one time it was Lemmy. Until nearly ten years ago, when he died of epicness.

    Unfortunately it will never happen again because it ceased to be in 2015; it was Motƶrhead.

    Krakatoa was the loudest thing ever heard by man.

    It could be heard around the goddamn world.

    Other than that, whale calls or sub radars. Both can straight up kill you from the immense decibel overload if you’re close enough. Nuclear bombs are also.. expectedly, extremely loud.

    194 dB SPL at sea level in air. Above that, the air pressure would need to be negative to get any louder and therefore it becomes a shockwave instead of a sound. This threshold is crossed in certain explosions and when my upstairs neighbor decides to dance around with boots on or whatever it is he’s doing at 2am…

    What are you doing up there, Steve?

    In my younger years I had a thing with the girl next door it was great until one day her dad came home early, they had one of those older windows that slid up and down and midway out the bloody thing fell down trapping my bare bum inside, the loudest sound I’ve ever heard was her old man opening his pocket knife.
