The Friday Yellow Cicada (Australian sword flea) is one of the two largest-called cicadas
The first thing in the morning, when the sun has just come out of the horizon and you snuggle up in a bed, the noisiest animal in the world is probably your cat barking or your dog begging for breakfast. We have no problem with that.
However, scientists have actually measured the sounds that wild animals make, and they are also very, very loud. Maybe it's louder than the first thing you do in the morning to have a pet, but probably not. However, we are just saying that some animals can make such a loud sound that it can even break our human eardrums. Even your cat can't do it, although she might try.
According to scientific measurements, here are the five loudest animals on Earth.
1． Tiger pistol shrimp
The Tiger Pistol Shrimp doesn't make any sound, but the bubbles it emits with its claws produce a shockwave of more than 200 decibels!
syllable! This little Mediterranean shrimp doesn't make a sound with its mouth, or even with its body. It sprays a column of water with its massive claws to create bubbles. When the bubbles implode, a shock wave of more than 200 decibels is generated. The shock wave can kill other shrimp up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) away, and it produces flashes as hot as the sun. For reference, the threshold for human pain — the pure sound that makes most people feel ear pain — is that 120 decibels of a person's eardrum ruptures at 160 decibels. What a big shrimp!
2． blue whale
The blue whale is the largest mammal on Earth and one of the loudest mammals.
This is the loudest animal on earth and the largest animal on earth blue whale restaurant phones up to 188 decibels. We share the planet with blue whales and pistol shrimp, so how can we have eardrums if these animals are so loud? We are protected by the fact that these creatures live underwater and we do not. If we really lived in the sea, we could hear the song of blue whales a thousand miles away.
3． Pit Bulldog Bat
The Great Bulldog Bat uses echo localization, which is super loud prey. Thankfully, the human ear can't hear.
Pit bull bats are native to the Caribbean for echolocation bats but these bats are not typical insects, but feed on fish. This means they need to make a sound that penetrates both the air they fly and the water in which their food swims. Their echo localization can reach 140 decibels, but we humans are once again lucky enough to share the world with these bats, because these unusually loud sounds are ultrasonic means that they are beyond the range of human hearing.
4. Owl parrot
The Mating Call of the Australian Owl Is So Loud that we were surprised it could attract an important other.
Our next loudest animal is also the loudest bird, the parrot. This New Zealand Aboriginal mating call can be like a 132-decibel nocturnal and flightless parrot holding a pair of other records as well. It is the heaviest parrot in the world, with males weighing 4.85 pounds (2.2 kg). It is the longest-lived bird in the world – it is known that they can live to be 90 years old.

The vegetable and fruit merchant's cicada is the green version of the yellow Monday cicada, and it can make a sound that can almost break through people's eardrums.
There are two species of insects — the vegetable and fruit merchant's cicada and Monday's yellow cicada — the loudest known insect. Males of both species can emit 120 decibels that sound like cicadas screaming loudly at everything, but in reality they are vibrating the exoskeletons like drums in their abdomen. Their belly calls are species-specific, so they don't attract females who can't mate.
