Man’s Clap as Loud as a Helicopter
 
 
 

A Chinese man has aspirations of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records - by clapping his hands.

Zhang Quan, 70, of Chongqing city can clap his hands almost as loud as the sound of helicopter blades.

Recently his clapping was measured by local environmental protection officials as reaching 107 decibels. This is only slightly less loud than the 110 decibels reached by a helicopter.

“When I am clapping, even my own ears feels painful, no mentioning of others. That’s why I usually don’t clap,” says Zhang.

He has been lucky that he has not been arrested for noise pollution as the officials from the environmental agency say that his clapping violates noise code levels. They advised him not to clap too often.

So, he can can clap as loud as a helicopter…wow… I never even knew that a helicopter could clap!! I do know that my beautiful wife Sara can clap her hands so loudly it sounds like a gunshot! It’s very impressive and is her “party piece” so to speak. Is a gunshot louder than a helicopter?? If so, maybe she should contact Guinness herself!

Holy shit you are an idiot, it’s a comparison, you may want to look up what decibel mean because it clearly says that his clap is 107 decibel while a helicopter is around 110.

I rather think its you who may be the idiot, Bill - can’t you see that Dave was just making a joke? Try getting out a bit more, and drop the aggression.

There’s no important significance for his loud clapping,unless he’s trying to cure the deaf,or cause deafness!!
