Paul Hunn

How loud is a burp?

Mr. Paul Hunn of London has got the loudest one on record that reached 104.9 decibels. (db) To get an idea of how loud that is, imagine a jet flying over you head at 1000ft. This is amazing being that cruise ships even consider it a hazard for the noise level to be even at 83+ decibels, requiring passenger to wear plugs. The average person talking in a conversation is about 70 decibels. At rock concerts, the levels are atleast 115 decibels to give you an idea of the magnitude of this mans ability. He attained this record on July 20, 2004 in London England.
