10 Birds That Chirp The Loudest
Parakeet
Parakeets are the most common pet bird species on this list. Usually, their whistles and chirps are anywhere between 65 to 70 decibels, which is comparable to office noise or background music.
Eclectus Parrot
The Eclectus Parrot is native to certain islands in southeast Asia and Oceania, namely the Maluku Islands (Moluccas), northeastern Australia, New Guinea, and other islands nearby, Sumba, and the Solomon Islands. This wild bird species is mostly seen as being kept as a pet. Its chirp can reach 115 decibels.
Peacock
If you’re ever lucky enough to see the stunning beauty and dignity of a peacock, you might likely find out that it’s got a pretty loud chirp. Although it’s not as loud as some other birds, its level of noise at 115 decibels is in the same range as that of a leaf blower, chainsaw, or snowmobile (106-115db). The males are famous for their colorful feathers and piercing calls.
Sun Conure
Another exotic-looking pet bird, the Sun Conure or Sun Parakeet is one of the most popular types of pet conures. Bright orange and yellow with green and blue on its wing feathers, it is as beautiful as it is loving and intelligent. It loves having a monogamous partner and bonding with humans. It is also very vocal, with some of the moderately loudest chirps at 120 decibels.
Cockatiel
Cockatiels are fairly social birds and are popular as pets. They are also very vocal, and loudly chirping is common if they are agitated or bored, although they can learn to whistle a variety of tunes, do tricks, and even learn how to talk. Their noise is at the level of 123 decibels.
Mealy Amazon Parrot
The Mealy Amazon Parrot is a mostly green parrot that is also one the largest parrot species. Although it is known for being a calm and docile pet, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t make noise. And when it does, it is shockingly loud. Its chirp has been recorded at 124 decibels, about the same as a very loud concert.
Rooster
The rooster is the best-known of the loudest birds. It doesn’t chirp so much as a crow, though. Some roosters crow at only around 90 decibels, the same as a barking dog, but others can crow around or reach up to 130 decibels. Even at 90 decibels, though, they are considered a nuisance in some cities because of their noise, crowing spontaneously, and sometimes often in the morning as well as the afternoon.
White Bellbird
The third-loudest bird to ever chirp is the White Bellbird, a South American bird living in the Amazon, specifically the Guianas, Brazil, and Venezuela. The males’ cries serve as mating calls and they’re even louder than howler monkeys. Their fire alarm-like sound can reach 125 decibels, the same as a very loud concert.
Moluccan Cockatoo
Its chirp can reach 135 decibels, with an average of 120 decibels. At 125 dB that’s when the sound starts to get very painful, with 120-129 decibels being that of a rock concert, loud symphony, or sports crowd. 135 decibels is between a stock car race (130db) and a gunshot or siren at 100 feet (140db).
Nanday Conure
Also called the Black-Hooded Parakeet or Nanday Parakeet, the Nandy Conure is a colorful, mostly green neotropical parrot native to South America. You’ll notice that many of the loudest birds have chirps that suit their native habitat of tropical areas. The Nandy Conure has a chirp that reaches 155 decibels, comparable to the level of firecrackers. It is an exotic-looking pet bird that can also learn tricks and how to talk.
