The blue whale is the loudest animal on Earth.
Blue whales mostly emit very loud, highly structured, repetitive low-frequency rumbling sounds that can travel for many miles underwater.
The call of the blue whale reaches levels up to 188 decibels and can be heard for hundreds of miles underwater. The blue whale is louder than a jet, which reaches only 140 decibels. Human shouting is 70 decibels; sounds over 120 decibels are painful to human ears.
The second-loudest animal on Earth is the howler monkey (Alouatta) from the jungles of Central and South America.

I have recently found out that the worlds loudest animal is actually not a blue whale. this was the previous record of 198 decibels, but this was recently beaten. The current loudest animal is actually the Tiger Pistol Shrimp. It can reach up to 218 decibels. It creates bubbles with its gun shaped claw, these bubbles fire out hot sound energy, with can for a millisecond, reach the temperature of the suns outer rim. Then the bubble hits its target, and can stun larger fish, and even kill some smaller fish
Hope this was of some use to you
