The white bellbird, Procnias albus, is native to forests in northern South America, including the Guianas, Venezuela and parts of Brazil. Males are almost entirely white and sing to attract mates from high canopy perches. In 2019 researchers measured its call at up to 125 decibels, recognising it as the loudest known bird vocalisation. Clips of the bird screaming with its beak wide open spread widely in nature documentaries and online animal videos, where its unlikely volume and bell like tone keep it popular for surprising soundboards and wildlife posts.

The white bellbird call is the piercing metallic scream of the world's loudest bird from South American rainforests, used in nature videos and edits.
The white bellbird call is a startlingly loud, metallic scream that cuts through the rainforest like a hammer striking an anvil. The male bird opens its beak wide and delivers a single ringing note, then sometimes a second, with a force that can be heard far through dense trees. It sounds almost mechanical rather than animal, which makes the clip surprising on first listen. In videos it creates instant shock and curiosity, because viewers rarely expect a small white bird to produce such an intense, industrial sounding blast.
