PATTAYA, Thailand — Short shrieks, high- pitched yelps, and drawn-out wails rang out at a competition to find the loudest scream.
Russian Sergey Savelyev chimed in at 116.8 decibels — roughly an ambulance siren — to win Saturday’s event in the seaside town of Pattaya. He fell short of the 129-decibel Guinness World Record scream set in 2000 in London.
“I was only getting warmed up,” said Savelyev, 33, who said he’ll be at next year’s event, hosted by Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum.
