Loudest Animal Is Recorded for the First Time

Hi Everyone,

Today, I will posting on a new discovery made by scientists which have shown for the first time that the loudest animal on earth, relative to its body size, is the tiny water boatman, Micronecta scholtzi. At 99.2 decibels, this represents the equivalent of listening to an orchestra play loudly while sitting in the front row.

This has led to researchers, who are presenting their work at the Society for Experimental Biology Annual Conference in Glasgow, being keen to bring together aspects of biology and engineering to clarify how and why such a small animal makes such a loud noise, and to explore the practical applications, which I feel is very smart of them. If they really find the reason which a small animal could produce such a loud sound, perhaps, there could be breakthrough in science.

Above are some pictures of this animal and the sound it can made compared to other animals.
Hope that you enjoyed it!

Yours,
Ryan Ong
