Which of these four makes the loudest noise?

Whales are known for their songs. The blue whale, the largest animal on earth, can produce loud whistling calls that reach up to 188 db. These calls can travel up to 500 miles underwater. But the loudest is the sperm whale. It makes a series of clicking noises that can reach as high as 230 db making it the loudest animal in the world. The click lasts for only 15 to 30 milliseconds and can stay audible to a sperm whale as much as 10 miles away.

Chris Brown, what happened in 1982? I love that you love whales. I can't put into words how incredible I think they are.

This was an easy one for me. I've read, watched & researched everything I can about whales. Fascinating creatures & the sounds they make are hauntingly beautiful.
