The male Danionella cerebrum, a fish of about 12mm found in the streams of Myanmar, produces sounds that exceed 140 decibels, according to a study published in the PNAS journal, equivalent to an ambulance siren or a pneumatic drill.

  10. The snapping shrimp, also known as the pistol shrimp, is capable of producing a sound that can reach up to 200 decibels (dB) underwater, which is significantly louder than 140 dB. This sound is produced by the snapping motion of its specialized claw and is one of the loudest sounds produced by marine animals.
