Neville Sharp, an Australian, currently holds the world record for the loudest burp by a man, with a recorded burp measuring 112.4 decibels at a studio in Darwin, Australia.
This Australian man has been attempting to break the Guinness World Record for decades, producing a burp louder than a standard power drill.
Neville Sharp broke the record with a burp of 112.4 decibels.
Reportedly, Neville Sharp, hailing from Humpty Doo in Northern Australia, learned to burp from his sister, Sandy, when he was just six years old.
He has honed his “skill” since then, but it wasn’t until his wife encouraged him to use his unusual talent to achieve a world record that he truly began to improve his burping technique.
Neville has been training hard for the past five years, and in August of this year, the 51-year-old man broke a record that had stood for nearly 12 years by producing a burp of 112.4 decibels.
Paul Dunn, from England, previously held the record for the loudest burp by a man since 2009, when he burped at an impressive 109.9 decibels, but his remarkable feat is no longer the loudest burp recorded in human history.
Neville Sharp, the Australian, now holds the world record for the loudest burp by a man after achieving a measurement of 112.4 decibels at a studio in Darwin, Australia.
After astonishing friends and family with his impressive yet disgusting burp for many years, Neville Sharp began serious training for his world record attempt five years ago.
At the same time, he started searching for a suitable sound engineering team and a proper location to record his monumental feat.
“The reason I am trying to break this record is to become a world record holder. The second reason is that the world record has been held by an Englishman for over 10 years,” Neville joked.
Neville’s effort was conducted according to the strict rules and guidelines of the Australian Book of Records (TABOR) in August and has recently been recognized by the Guinness World Records.
In case you’re wondering, the loudest burp by a woman (107 decibels) was recorded in 2009 by Elisa Cagnoni at the “Ruttosound” competition during the Hard Rock Beer Festival in Reggiolo, Italy.
