How loud?
How loud are howler monkeys? Most online sources call the Blue Whale the loudest animal at 188dB. However if you do all the rigmarole necessary to make a fair comparison between in-air and in-water noises, the BW comes in somewhere between 100-120dB. Perception to humans is also important - the Blue Whale sounds are so low in frequency, that they sound less loud to human ears. These howlers, though, really screech some.

- That's a mighty fine question friend. I just tried Googling for the answer and went through about 15 pages of Google search results and can't find a smattering of data on just how loud the howlers are, except that only the Blue Whale is louder. - UtherSRG 23:57, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
