In my opinion it is the drums that have the loudest raw sound, but if you connect your guitar to an amplifier then the sound will have increased.

How do you make a loud sound on a guitar?

The volume of the guitar determines on how hard the string is strummed, how much room it has to echo, and the environment the guitar is being played in. The loudest sound from a guitar will come when the string is strummed hard, allowed to ring freely with no other contact, and is played in a large, open room.


Decibels of a guitar?

You do not state whether this is an acoustic or electric guitar. An acoustic guitar measures 65 db average to the player's ear. Of course this can vary dramatically, I do not think there is a record for the loudest acoustic guitar but think 80 db is a reasonable estimate. As far a electric guitar, there is no "real" limit related to electric guitar but rather to sound amplification. A 100W guitar amp can hit 140db. It is easy for a professional level P.A. system to achieve 160 db with good sound quality. It can get louder but at the cost of lower sound quality. Since sound this loud is considered painful and damaging to the listener's hearing, companies don't make systems louder than the "pain threshold" of 155db. The rock band "The Who" holds the record for loudest rock concert at a sustained 180db. They have since labeled themselves "the loudest rock band" as a result, it could be argued this honor be awarded to the P.A. system not the band.


Can an electric bass guitar be used with acoustic ensembles?

An electric bass guitar is often used with acoustic ensembles, but there is the problem of a too-loud amplified bass guitar. This disturbs the sound of the whole ensemble. The bass has never been the loudest sounding instrument of that group.
