Loudest Man on Earth Shouts Record

A 58-year-old Australian town crier just shattered the world’s loudest human shout record with a 122.4-decibel roar—louder than a chainsaw or jet engine. Joseph McGrail-Bateup, who’s been yelling “Oyez, Oyez, Oyez” for fun since 2017, stumbled into the record while chasing town crier feats. He needed seven tries to nail the word “now,” and his voice was wrecked afterward. He’s cool with the previous record holder, Annalisa Flanagan, keeping her title as loudest woman—and even joked he’s more “loudest man” than “loudest person.” Though he once held a speed archery record, he’s not clinging to this one, saying records are meant to be broken.
