These large New World monkeys are found in the forests of Central and South America. As you can guess from their common name, they’re famous for the howling vocalizations they make. In fact, vocal communication is the foundation of their social behavior. Males can make deep guttural growls throughout the day. Does that sound like your neighbors?

#2 Water Boatman (99 decibel)

This is a miniscule insect that measures about two millimeters long. The males of this species are known to make the loudest noise of any animal proportionate to its size. They remind us of those little noisy ladies in the neighborhood that are a pain in the neck.

#3 Common Coqui Frog (100 decibel)

These small frogs get their name from the loud mating calls made by the males. There are 16 known species of them scattered throughout the Caribbean. However, only 2 species make the strident calls. When males compete for the same mates at the same time, the sound can become deafening and it lasts from sunset till dawn. Sounds like a teenage party in the neighborhood.

#4 Spotted Hyena (112 decibel)

This creature is more commonly called the Laughing hyena because some of its vocalizations can sound like maniacal human laughter but they can also make many other noises including whoops, growls, giggles and groans. Do you remember those bad high school garage bands? Sounds pretty similar.

#5 Golden Retriever (113 decibel)

If you have a dog that likes to bark, you already know how ear-splitting it can be but a golden retriever called Charlie set a record in 2012 for the loudest dog bark at 113 decibels that made him sound louder than a pneumatic drill. Well, just imagine a neighbor with a constantly barking dog and "never-ending" construction projects.

#6 Kakapo (132 decibel)

Endemic to New Zealand, these are ground-dwelling birds that have a few claims to fame in the avian world. In addition to being the only flightless parrot, they are also the heaviest. When matin season is in full swing, the males create loud booming noises up to 8 hours a night over 4 months.

#7 Greengrocer Cicada (150 decibel)

This insect occurs throughout southeastern coastal regions of Australia. At about 1.6 inches long (4 cm) they’re colored mostly green and have red eyes. They are usually heard over the summer months and serve as a way to attract mates.

#8 Blue Whale (188 decibel)

Let’s start with the fact that it’s the largest animal ever known to exist. Ever. So you might imagine that these beasts have the loudest voices in the animal kingdom as well. Vocalizations made by blue whales have been documented at 188 decibels which is louder than an exploding grenade. Anybody leap to mind?

All these noisy creatures are beautiful, my neighbour singing along to Celine Dion makes me wish I'd gone down with the Titanic argh😱

Steve Tingle, Definitely agree. Kakapo are ground dwellers. Used to find heaps of water boatmen in the inground pool at one house I lived in.

Lyndell Taylor

David Ching, Yeah! A kakapo looks more like a giant green budgerigar.

That was fun and educational. Thank you and be well.

Eve

Very interesting. Neighbours? Probably the blue whale at times -- not often thank goodness but sometimes at three in the morning someone has to start arguing lol.

Marie Paterson-van Cittert

Yes and then you have parrots who learn to imitate loud industrial whines and screeching must be the absolute worst!!

Cicadas I can attest to (but not the particular one in the article). About 7 or 8 years ago, I was driving home from the office when I was caught in a traffic backup in a wood area. The cicadas were so loud that it was causing me physical pain. Even with the windows up the noise was deafening. A few days later, I remember sitting at a traffic light and watching a flock of Canadian geese running around like maniacs, eating the cicadas. I felt like getting out of the car and cheering the geese on, but, they were doing just fine without me.

Sterling Stanley

None really. I don't interact with my neighbors.

More like Patagonian Conure Parrot - defo not kakapo

Steve Tingle

Two comments - the picture of the Kakapo is wrong, that's an ordinary parrot, the Kakapo couldn't stand on a twig so small. And the Water Boatman I know (used to have them on our pond) are 2 cm long not mm.
