- The loudest animal on earth is the sperm whale, which can produce a clicking sound up to 233 decibels. Scientists believe that the sperm whale’s head acts as a giant telegraph machine.
- The greater bulldog bat has a screech is 100 times louder than a rock concert. The greater bulldog bat has the highest sound frequency of all bat species, but it does not carry as well through the air as those with lower frequency screeches.
- Male howler monkeys have a deafening scream of up to 140 decibels, used to attract females or compete with other males.
