Kimberly Winter (Kimycola) has always astonished people with her loud belches. She knew her burps were special when she got kicked out of a bar for being too loud. Even as a child, she annoyed her parents anytime her tummy contained gas. But they've come around, as Winter's burps have brought her acclaim. She recently broke a 14-year world record for the loudest burp by a woman!
To break the official record, Winter has to perform in front of witnesses in a soundproof room, at the regulation distance from a microphone. This happened during a live radio show in Rockville, Maryland, where Winter's belch registered at 107.3 decibels. That's louder than some motorcycles! Read Winter's story and how she prepared to break the world record.
The loudest burp recorded by Guinness World Records belongs to Neville Sharp of Australia, who recorded a 112.7 burp in 2021. Winter thinks she can break her own record, or maybe even Sharp's eventually. -via Metafilter

I read a webcomic once where the scores in a belching contest were measured on the Richter Scale
