Be thankful you don't live near a bird with a 116 decibel call - the loudest ever recorded.

I haven't heard that particular bellbird, but the ones in the rainforest of Costa Rica are amazingly loud. You hear them way up in the tops of the trees, but you rarely see them.

If you had that bird in your backyard, it would seriously effect the selling price of your property. Sounds like a fire alarm in the lobby of an office tower.

Not a pet that you'd want to take to a recording session. Jeffry Podos, the scientist from U. of Mass. needs to get his hearing checked. It isn't one note, it's two. :-) Fun find, Jerry.

Wow! That’s loud!
Has anyone ever heard a Holler Monkey? You can hear them one mile away! They live in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

I have never heard a bellbird or howler monkey, but the loudest animal sound I have ever heard was a pair of male lions walking their boundaries at Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. We were sound asleep in the compound when "Leo" lets loose with a mighty roar that bloody straightened us right up in bed. They put the MGM lion into young pussy cat status that night.

In Brazil a place called the Pantenal… the Hyacinth Macaws sit in trees 5 miles apart but they call for meetings to feed to get water or to fly around. It is one place where you can see a lot of wildlife, way more than the amazon jungle. Back to the macaws, my wife decided that she had to have one of these flying noise makers. I tried to talk her out of it but... Now once in a while he lets out a whoop As I am feeding or cleaning the cage that about clears my bowels. I have heard Bell birds but this macaw has it beat in sheer disturbing noise.
