Krakatoa was loud enough to be heard almost anywhere on the planet. When it blew people within range of it where killed by the force.

According to the website at the link provided below the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was historically measured at 180 decibels. The explosion was heard 1,930 miles away in Perth, Australia and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius 3,000 miles away.

The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was heard in Australia, Sri Lanka (then called Ceylon), and the Philippines and USA, nearly 2796 miles away.

There is no way to tell. I don't know for sure, but perhaps since it could be heard 4.800 km away in South-Africa, my guess is at around 250~270 dB.

Krakatoa isn' loud any more. There once was a very loud big eruption. Nobody measured the high sound pressure level SPL. Close to the vulcano is was much louder than in the far distance.

Nobody was there with sound pressure level meter (SPL meter). It depends really how close you are to the krakatoa. The closer - the louder.

Volcanoes don't have magnitudes. Earthquakes do.
