Who Can Scream the Loudest, Decibel Challenge with Kids

Quiet

Who out of you has ever been loud before? Right, let's just get a quick test. Go

Well done for that little... at the beginning. Very professional. Oh, very high

Oh, good scream, about 104 there. Whoa! That was the highest one yet

And... That came out of nowhere. Because beforehand you were looking all shy and then suddenly you went

hang on a minute, I've got to scrape. That was 122 decibels. So that was all very, very good

Now, who do you think it was who might have had to one day do a very loud scream

No, no-one in this room. Donald Trump. Yeah, Donald Trump because he's loud

Who would get so wound up? Me. No, I'll tell you what it was. Not you

Of course, it's a classroom assistant. And her name was Jill Drake

And there must have just been a moment where she was going, be quiet everyone

And she got so loud that it was 129 decibels. And we're going to see if you can get as loud as that

Because that is nearly as loud as a jet engine. A what

Sounds good. So, Conor, are you ready to shout quiet

Let's find out how loud that is going to be. One metre away. One, two, three. Ah

No, no, no, shout quiet. No, shout quiet. Shout the word quiet

I don't want to. Oh. Quiet! I thought you meant like just shout but really low

Oh, no, no, no. No, no, actually shout the word quiet. Are you ready, Conor

Let's hear you shout quiet. Quiet! Oh, that was 110.3 decibels. Quiet

That was 104.7. Quiet! Oh, that was 107. Quiet! Oh, that was 102.2

One metre away. Now, Adam, go. Quiet! Oh, that was 107.1. So..

I think he ruined everyone. Uh-oh. Are you ready? Quiet

That, I can't, that's 109.6. Now, I was certain you must have been louder than Conor

but it seems very close, though. And that was, let's just try it one more time

Just say you are very loud. Quiet! Oh, there we go, yeah. 110.4. Whoa

There we go. So, Sophia, it doesn't surprise me, you, by 0.1 of a decibel

were the loudest person out of all six of you. But all of you were impressively loud

and, I imagine, frequently terrifying children
