It's louder than anything you've ever heard in your entire life. If you still have your hearing, you've never heard anything even close to as loud as a blue whale. The death of hearing tissue occurs when sounds reach 180dB. Blue whales have been known to reach levels of 188dB.

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).
