The pain threshold for humans is 120-130 Decibels. Any sound above 85 dB can cause hearing loss, and the loss is related both to the power of the sound as well as the length of exposure.Human speech is only registered at about 25-35 decibels.
A speaker at a rock concert can reach 135-145 decibels. Fireworks are 145-150 decibels. Gunfire is 145-155. NHRA dragsters reach 155-160 decibels. A space shuttle launch is 165-170. The call of a blue whale (largest and LOUDEST mammal on Earth) can reach 188 decibels. In 1883 Krakatoa, the volcano, erupted and the sound was reported at 180 decibels. The sound was heard almost 3,000 miles away. A 1-ton bomb reaches 210 decibels. A 5.0 on the Richter scale earthquake has a decibel level of 235.
The Tunguska event was a massive explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya (Under Rock) Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai of Russia, at 7:40 AM on June 30, 1908. The explosion was most likely caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5 to 10 kilometers (3-6 mi) above Earth's surface. It was measured with the similar impact of a 1000-Mega-ton bomb with a decibel rating 300-315. This is often considered to be the loudest single-event in history.
That might be the loudest noise ever to be made in the world.

Which thing produce a loudest sound?
The loudest sound produced on Earth is a volcanic eruption, with the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883 being one of the loudest recorded sounds in history. In space, the collapse of a massive star into a supernova can produce incredibly loud sound waves.
What is the second loudest sound in the world?
The eruption of Krakatoa volcano in 1883 is considered the second loudest sound in recorded history. The explosion was so loud that it was heard over 3,000 miles away and caused eardrums to burst within a 40-mile radius.
What is the loudest sound we can hear?
The loudest sound that humans can hear before experiencing pain is usually around 120 decibels, such as a rock concert or a thunderclap. However, sounds over 140 decibels can cause permanent hearing damage.
What is the loudest sound can go?
The loudest sound that can be perceived by the human ear is typically around 120-130 decibels, such as a jet engine at close range. Sounds louder than this can cause pain and potential hearing damage. The loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883, which registered around 180-190 decibels.
How can I make the loudest paper popper?
To make the loudest paper popper, fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise, then fold it in half again. Hold the paper at one end and quickly flick it to create a loud popping sound. Experiment with different paper sizes and folding techniques to achieve the loudest pop.
