1976,The Who were listed as the "record holder", at 126 dB, measured at a distance of 32 meters from the speakers at a concert at Charlton Athletic Football Ground on 31 May 1976. 1984,94 and 2008The heavy metal band Manowar is one claimant of the title of "loudest band in the world", citing a measurement of 129.5 dB in 1994 in Hanover. However, Guiness Book of World Records listed Manowar as the record holder for the loudest musical performance for an earlier performance in 1984. Guinness does not recognize Manowar's later claim, because it no longer includes a category of loudest band, reportedly because it does not want to encourage hearing damage. Manowar broke their own record again in 2008 at the Magic Circle Fest with 139dB. 1997,Metallica has styled itself the "loudest band in the world". However, after one concert on 11 November 1997, which the band dubbed the "Million Decibel March", the Philidephia Inquirer reported that "neighbors who [had] feared the worst from the self-styled Loudest Band in the World complained more about the sound from the news choppers circling overhead". 2007,British punk band Gallows allegedly broke Manowar's previous record for loudest band in the world, claiming to have achieved 132.5 dB; however, this record was claimed in an isolated Studio environment as opposed to live.On July 15, 2009, at the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest in Ottawa, Canada, the band KISS achieved a SPL (sound pressure level) of 136 dB measured by City of Ottawa Bylaw officers at the sound tent during their live performance (not the sound check), making it the world's loudest performance officially measured by any band. After noise complaints from neighbors in the area, the band was forced to turn the volume down.

What is the noisiest sea creature in the world?

Based on the category in which your question is posted, I supposed you are inquiring as to the loudest animal in the world.Blue Whales are not only the largest animals alive, but they are the loudest as well. To get an idea of how loud they are, there are a few basic comparisons in decibels. A normal conversation between two people is between 60 and 70 decibels. That's not very loud, considering the human ear's threshold for pain is between 120 and 130 decibels. A jet engine runs about 140 decibels, while Rock Music peaks at 150 decibels. Quite loud. However, the Blue Whale is even louder. The Blue Whales call can reach up to 188 decibels."Blue Whales mostly emit very loud, highly structured, repetitive low-frequency rumbling sounds that can travel for many miles underwater. These songs may be used for communicating with others Blue Whales, especially in order to attract and find mates" (EnchantedLearning, 1996-2009).EnchantedLearning.com (1996-2009).
