What 2-inch-long ocean creature is one of the noisiest animals on earth? > > > > >Answer The pistol shrimp, which makes a noise that, can reach up to 218 decibels—30 decibels higher than the sound made by the blue whale. It does this by snapping its oversized pincer to fire off a 60-mile-an-hour blast of water that creates a low-pressure bubble with an internal temperature that is hotter than the sun. The bubble quickly bursts, emitting a high-decibel boom that stuns the tiny shrimp’s prey and provides it with food.
