What is the loudest thing on this planet???

Question

Anything at all.What could it be???...tom science

Answer 1

My hubby snoring...& that's why I'm on here answering questions @ 2:10 am.......omg

Answer 2

The 1883 Krakatoa eruption had the force of 13000 Hiroshima bombs and was the loudest sound recorded on Earth.

But that asteroid practically vapourising the Earth (the one that made the moon) 34 million years after the Earth was formed is probably the hands down winner.

Answer 3

The loudest thing to ever occur on this planet was probably the impact that created the moon (and almost destroyed our planet). After that probably caldera eruptions, followed by regular volcanic eruptions, then nuclear explosions, then regular explosions. In terms of regularly created sounds there is a sound amplifier in a lab somewhere that can crank out the sound.

Answer 4

To hear sounds, it depends on 3 things:

1st, there is the source of the sound.
2nd, there the media.
3rd, there is the listener.

If we lack any of these 3 components, we won't be able to hear any sound. A nuclear blast in a nobody planet won't create any sounds, since there's nobody hear it.

But, eventhough we have those 3 components of sounds, our ears have limited abilities to hear loud sounds. If we hear too loud sounds, our ears will be hurt, then we will be deaf, and then again, we are not listening anything anymore.

So, we are able to hear any sounds, i think the loudest things on earth will be:

1. A rocket carrying gasoline crashing onto ground.
2. A plane above our heads crashing into another.
3. F-1 cars.
4. Massive loudspeakers playing rock & roll/heavy metal musics in a audio contest.
5. You name it..., heheheee...

The closer we are to the source of the sounds, the louder the sounds we hear. But i suggest, for better measurement, you can use a decibel-meter.

Answer 5

A sonic boom is the audible component of a shock wave in air. The term is commonly used to refer to the air shocks caused by the supersonic flight of military aircraft or passenger transports such as Concorde (Mach 2.03, no longer flying) and the Space Shuttle (up to Mach 27). Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion; typically the shock front may approach 167 megawatts per square meter, and may exceed 200 decibels.

The sound is much like the "aerial bombs" used at firework displays.

Israel used F-16 jet planes to create sonic booms over the Gaza Strip [1] as a method of psychological warfare. The practice was condemned by the United Nations. A senior Israeli army intelligence source said the tactic was intended to break civilian support for armed Palestinian groups, especially those firing Qassam rockets into Israeli population centers. [2]

Answer 6

Russia dropped an H-Bomb that was the biggest ever fired off. The sound went around the world 3 times.

;-D I didn't hear it. Did you?

Answer 7

quoting the last guy...."a nuclear clast up close".... has that ever been measured?...... I believe the loudest thing measured in deciBels....or dB...... was the world record holder at the IASCA Finals... that or the new JACKHAMMER 22" Subwoofer....

Answer 8

Large volcanic eruptions..
I understand the eruption / explosion of Krakatoa was heard
many thousands of miles away...
Next to that would probably be large Nuclear explosions...

Answer 9

My mother in law - the only person on earth who can be heard in outer space.

Answer 10

all 3 of my kids screaming and fighting with each other at the same time....
