A tiny water boatman is the loudest animal on Earth relative to its body size, a study has revealed.I have never heard anything so funny..weird and cringing in my life lol
Scientists from France and Scotland recorded the aquatic animal "singing" at up to 99.2 decibels, the equivalent of listening to a loud orchestra play while sitting in the front row.
The insect makes the sound by rubbing its penis against its abdomen in a process known as "stridulation".
