Mount Krakatoa in Indonesia in 1883 was the loudest ever heard and recorded volcanic eruption, the sound of its eruption was heard up to the northernmost tip of Japan
Krakatoa or Krakatau in Indonesia was the loudest volcanic explosion that ever recorded, was heard 3,500 km ( 2,170 miles ) and it was in 1883
An ex-wife ... lol Sorry, just couldn't resist ... ! _____________ Of the various natural things that can occur on earth without extra-terrestrial involvement, the loudest thing perhaps is the eruption of the caldera of a mega-volcano, or the eruption of a very large cone-producing volcano. Maybe louder still would be a collision with a very large comet or other body. I wouldn't like to be around in either case. Considering non-cataclysmic events, my guess would be: either the world's winds combined, or the world's surface water. If we could collect and concentrate the sound produced by either of these things, the loudness would be unexpected and phenomenal.
a loud sound
A loud rumble will be heard. The materials produced usually are lava, volcanic ash, volcanic gases(carbo dioxide, sulfur dioxide, water vapour...) and pyroclastic deposits, which can damage buildings, block rivers and kill people living around the volcano.

Sound conduction through air is dependent on temperature and the strength of the sound, but sound can travel extremely far in the air. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa volcano (Level 6 on the Volcanic Scale. The eruption was equivalent to a 200 megaton blast, or 13,000 times that of the Hiroshima bomb, and 4 times that of the largest nuclear device ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, at 50 megatons. The eruption was heard over 3,000 miles away.
If I've never heard the sound before , how would I know what it is when I first hear it
194 dB (decibels) is the loudest sound on Earth ever. Some people say that the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was the loudest sound ever, being heard at 5,000 kilometers away! That eruption was around 180 dB!
It really depends on the thunder. A tremor or volcanic eruption can sound like distant thunder. The thunder of a close by lightning strike can sound like a bomb or grenade.
Yes! before and after.
because sound travels slower
'The sound of the bells were heard' is grammatically correct.
The sound of the eruption of Krakatoa travelled for thousands of miles. Far, far louder than any bomb. Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring point from the sound source, because the closer you are to the eyplosion of the bomb or the eruption of the volcano the louder it will be. The sound pressure level decreases by 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value. The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.
what is the sound that is heard in the Fiordland?
Beacause light travels faster than sound
