A guy in Australia tried to break the record for loudest BURP this week, and he thought he did. The noise meter he was holding clocked it at 110.6 decibels, which is about as loud as a chainsaw, and slightly louder than the current record of 109.9 decibels.
But the official record holder is a guy in England named Paul Hunn, who takes this stuff VERY seriously. And he immediately posted his own video, where he uses the same kind of noise meter . . . and registers a burp of 117.9 decibels.
So we’re assuming you have to be a certain distance away from the microphone, or it doesn’t count.
