Cover Your Ears For The Worlds Loudest Scream

Short shrieks, high-pitched yelps, and drawn-out wails rang out in Pattaya, Thailand at the weekend as 1500 competitors battled to set a new world record for the loudest scream.

Russian Sergey Savelyev chimed in at 116.8 decibels – roughly as loud as an ambulance siren – to win Saturday’s competition.

Officials from The Guinness World Records were on hand to witness the competition.

Unfortunately, Sergey did not succeed in breaking the Guinness World Record of 129 decibels, which was set in London in 2000.

Just remember to lower the volume or cover your ears before playing the video
