The other day it was a bird who for a short while “stole” the Danish news feeds. Stole is perhaps an exaggeration, but you find the story of the world’s most loud bird – the White<\/strong> Bellbird<\/strong> \u2013 in several Danish news media. We shared the story in this<\/a> post on our Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The news of the record<\/em> was brought in, among others the newspapers Politiken<\/em> and Jyllandsposten<\/em>, and the same evening, in a Danish television show called Aftenshowet,<\/em> the guest panel \u2013 in which the Danish Primeminister Mette Frederiksen was a part of. The panel should try to guess what the sound that was played to them was. They guessed it was an animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, researchers have measured and documented that the mating call of the male White Bellbird<\/strong> can reach a sound pressure of 125.4 dB (decibels), which is about 9 dB higher than what was recorded for the Screaming Piha<\/strong>, which until now has been the “record holder”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is a lot of decibels, but how loud is it really? It is loud and like it was described in an article, it can be compared to that if you put your head into a loudspeaker during a rock concert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But don’t worry, the White Bellbird lives in a relatively small area in northern South America, so there’s no danger of it showing up one morning and wake you from your sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
