What is the loudest possible sound in Terraria?

There are sounds every Terraria playthrough that stand out in the audio while I'm editing. Let's see which of these is the loudest, and then try to create the loudest possible sound with Terraria...

I'd recommend headphones if you want to hear the earlier sounds better. I didn't turn the music way down because then people would crank their own volume up to hear it at the normal level and get their ears destroyed by the truly loud sounds later (for example 15:29). I could turn it down a little next time but it's probably safer this way.

The loudest sound in terraria is probably when I die to my 50th jungle bat in a row

[Triploon]

the loudest sound is clearly the sound of the other player who won't stop spamming the mana crystal

[santygamer]

it's funny to me that you invented a whole new way of measuring sound using the pixels on the audio waves rather than measuring with decibels.

[ItzCataIO]

comparing sound using a ruler is crazy

[TheLiverX]

Me, an audio engineer in a free time: "It would not be so straightforward to measure loudness because perceived loudness may change drastically due to added harmonics during clipping..."
Wand of Sparking: "Pixels"

"i hope you aren't trying to fall asleep to this video or anything" clearly the words of a man who has never enjoyed the experience of falling asleep to "10 Hours of Construction Sound"

3:09 Guide: "They say there is a person who will tell you how to survive in this land... oh wait. That's me."

Measuring loudness with a ruler instead of decibels and the revolver being the standard unit of measurement is accidentally the most american thing ever

[owenwhite]

Proposal: old one's army, make an army of ballistas that all fire simultaneously. That's the loudest I've heard in a while. I haven't watched the video all the way through yet, but still.

A 250k sub youtuber using a jpeg artifacted ruler & an editing software screenshot to measure volume is crazy. Liked.

[FantasmaNaranja]

decibels? nonsense we measure by revolvers here!

[bmberr]

I was NOT expecting the ruler to be the way to measure sound

[milesrhodes]

moon lord dying is still the loudest thing in existence...

[MythrilMann]

I remember back when I first discovered Terraria, I joined a Steam group for multiplayer sessions.
One of those sessions ended up being a huge mess where the server mods spawned a metric fuckton of EOCs which themselves ended up spawning a metric fuckton of Servants.
The servants ended up bunching up together trying to kill me and I got the brilliant idea to use a Ball O' Hurt to kill them all at once.
Let me tell you, the sound of all those mobs dying at once was SO LOUD.

Those teleport/hoik loops people use to speed-kill bosses with the jousting lances are absolute deafening. There's probably something there.

[chielvandenberg]

The main source of sound for the coin bomb was to have as many rows falling at once, try using a scarab bomb instead for more rows. Avoid triggering the limit by reducing the amount of blocks above the scarab bomb, might want to use some math for that. Also, the loudest weapon would defo be the chain gun

[Tchnmn]

Terraria needs a metal pipe falling sound effect somewhere

[SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

I feel that if the sound could stack, the recall potion/mirror is one of the louder sounds.

Pulling out a ruler to measure how loud something is wild. That’s like using a thermometer to time how long it takes to run a mile.
