Top 10 Animals That Can Make You Deaf
The loud animals that can make noises that are so loud that you can go deaf.The tiger pistol shrimp has been confirmed as the loudest animal on earth. By snapping its claw into a gun-cocked position, it can snap it shut almost instantaneously. As the claws are about to hit each other, they create bubbles that collapse, reaching the temperature of the sun for a very short period.
The bubbles move at 60 miles per hour and release sounds of up to 218 decibels, which can be heard more than 500 miles away. It beats the former loudest animal, the blue whale, by 30 decibels, as blue whales can emit sounds as high as 188 decibels.
This means the blue whale is louder than a grenade explosion or jet engine, but the tiger pistol shrimp can make sounds louder than a volcanic eruption or gunshot. It uses this as a weapon by stunning enemies with its immense sound. This animal should be #1 on this list because it is.
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal and a baleen whale. Reaching a maximum confirmed length of 29.9 meters (98 ft) and weighing up to 199 metric tons (196 long tons; 219 short tons), it is the largest animal known to have ever existed. The blue whale's long and slender body can... read more This dude is very loud. Thanks for helping me with my science homework!
Yeah, I agree, blue whales are naturally loud. Uh, duh.
I agree because once, I was at the zoo, and I was near the monkeys when I heard a really loud screaming noise. I saw that it was coming from the monkeys. I looked at a sign, and they were called howler monkeys.
Howler monkeys are native to Central and South America. While vacationing in Costa Rica, one day a howler monkey woke up the whole family from 5 miles away, still loud and clear.
Very loud. I've heard them at the zoo in Frankfurt, Germany, when I was five. I couldn't stand to get too close because they were so loud.
The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is... read more A lion's roar is the loudest of all the big cats and can be heard over 5 miles (8 kilometers) away! Lions use their roar to warn other male lions that they are on his turf. If a lion were to roar right beside your ear, you would become deaf! Literally! This is just one of the great powers of this amazing big cat.
Elephants are the largest existing land animals. Three living species are currently recognised: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. They are the only surviving members of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea, extinct relatives include mammoths... read more I love elephants. They are really amazing creatures. Their sounds can be heard from about nine miles away!
Elephants can be heard from miles away.
Humans (Homo sapiens) are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating... read more Why isn't this higher? My younger cousins scream so loudly that it gives me a headache! My relatives are Asian, and they talk super loud during family gatherings, especially when the men are drunk. When my parents are furious, they yell so loudly that it's louder than every single screamer video on YouTube combined, especially my dad.
Very true! Screaming kids, yelling kids, crying kids, and angry adults - GRRGH! Humans are one of the loudest creatures, but instead of being in jungles, grasslands, or seas, they're everywhere. We are humans. Unless some monkey is online typing a;ksdhf geuwkaf monkah.
The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. Over thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, with gray wolves comprising the wild subspecies. As the largest extant member of the Canidae family, the wolf is distinguished... read more The wolf's howl can be heard from miles away, so that means the howl must be pretty loud. Wolves are like dogs. They bark, whimper, and make other dog noises. But the wolf howls.
Hyenas or hyaenas are any feliform carnivoran mammals of the family Hyaenidae /haɪˈɛnᵻdiː/. With only four extant species, it is the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora, and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia.Clearly, it is the loudest animal on earth.
The Newcomers
The horse is an odd-toed, hoofed mammal of the taxonomic family Equidae whose sole major subspecies (Equus ferus caballus) is a domesticate, although wild subspecies have survived into the modern period. All subspecies, including the two extant ones, descend from the Pleistocene Equus ferus. The horse... read more
A rooster, also known as a cockerel or cock, is a male gallinaceous bird, with cockerel being younger and rooster being an adult male chicken.
The sperm whale can produce a noise of up to 230 decibels, making it the loudest creature in the world. The tiger pistol shrimp is second.
Yes, yes, laugh at the name and make jokes about why the sea is salty, but at close range, their call can literally cause your head to explode.
Only the blue whale, herring, and pistol shrimp are louder. They hunt by creating a supersonic boom that stuns their prey.

Parrots, also known as psittacines, are birds of the roughly 393 species in 92 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most tropical and subtropical regions.
These small fish are louder than monkeys or bears. They use high-pitched sounds from their rear ends to communicate. Not even a whale's sensitive hearing can detect such a high pitch.
