The August 27, 1883 eruption of Mount Krakatoa is to this day the loudest sound ever heard in the world in modern history. This volcanic island is located in the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. That explosion killed more than 40,000 people, although some estimates put the death toll to be at more than 120,000. The 1883 eruption was so loud that the sound can be heart 3,000 miles from source. It was said that if one was within ten miles, they would go deaf.
Before the 1883 “big bang”, Krakatoa has been erupting for almost a month. Then at 10:20 am, Krakatoa let out it loudest eruption. Reports says that the sound was heard around the world. The sound was estimated to be around 180 decibels. People living in Perth, Australia, around 2,200 miles away, heard the explosion almost instantly. The resulting shockwave traveled around the world 7 times and registered on barographs around the world up to 5 days after the explosion.
Mount Krakatoa is still an active volcano. It’s latest eruption happened in November 2010 and was recorded in the video below. Let’s just hope the 1883 eruption was already the loudest.
