What is the loudest animal on earth? Is it the Blue Whale or the Pistol Shrimp? I'm having many a debate over this question at work, however I can't find a definite answer on net. Most sites suggest the Blue Whale (188Db), but I also found sites that suggest the Pistol Shrimp is louder (190-205Db). Any help?

Isn't the Howler Monkey pretty 'vocal'...

''They are the loudest animal in the New World and while their howl is not a piercing sound, it can travel for three miles through dense forest.''

Oh... and there's a kid three doors down from me that screams like a fekkin banshee ;-)

The howler monkey is the loudest land animal, (the You Tube videos are excellent), however it is not the loudest on earth. I wouldn't want to be in a rainforest without knowing about the Howler Monkey...very scary noise.
