Hello how may I help you? Do you know what the loudest recorded sound was? Yes, as crazy as it sounds, the eruption of Krakatoa Volcano in 1883 was the loudest sound ever recorded. Would you like to know more? Yes! Wow, tell me more about the volcano. The noise from the eruption was so loud that it burst the ear drums of people that were 40 miles away. More? That is icky but interesting. Do you know how many were killed? No deaths due to it. Injuries from the ruptured ear drums only That's suprising. Yeah, it "blows" my mind too! lol I think you've satisfied my fact hunger for the day. Thanks a bunch. You're welcome! Come back again
