The loudest purr by a domestic cat is 67.8 db(A) and was achieved by Merlin, owned by Tracy Westwood (UK) at her home in Torquay, Devon, UK, on 2 Apr 2015. Tracy said: “Occasionally when he’s really loud, I have to repeat myself. When you’re watching films you have to turn the telly up or put him out of the room... I can hear him when I’m drying my hair."
