Male white bellbirds have the loudest bird call ever recorded (Credit: Anselmo d’Affonseca)

Most male birds try to attract mates with elegant gestures. Seabirds bob their heads and flutter their wings, while peacocks fan out their beautiful feathers. However, the white bellbird, endemic to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, dispenses with the pleasantries and cut to the chase by shrieking in its prospective "date's" face at a deafening 125 decibels (Db)— the loudest bird call ever recorded. To put it in perspective, that is 40 Db higher than the safe hearing range for humans! Prior to this, the honor belonged to another Amazon-dweller — the aptly-named screaming piha — which has a peak recorded "song" volume of 116 Db.

        I thought it wouldn’t sound that loud as the article says, so I put it to max volume. It is so loud.

        That was so loud that it didn't even sound real for a moment! Who put it on max volume? You are always welcome to reply below, and follow if possible.

              I wonder why the people who found the bird didn't become deaf?
