Most people in the world would be embarrassed of their burping habit, but Kimberly “Kimycola” Winter, is not one of them. The USA native, with unusually loud burps, has recently broken the world record for the world’s loudest burp (female).

Her record-breaking burp hit 107.3 dB. This surpassed the previous record of 107 dB, which was achieved by Elisa Cagnoni from Italy in 2009. A similar record for the loudest burp in the male category is held by Neville Sharp of Australia. His burp measured 112.7 dB in 2021.

As per The Guinness World Records, Winter’s burp is “louder than a blender (70-80 dB), an electric handheld drill (90-95 dB), and even some motorcycles at full throttle (100-110 dB)”.

While talking to the Guinness World Records, Winter said that she prepared for the burp by eating breakfast along with a coffee and a beer.

Winter knew that her burps are extraordinarily loud ever since she was a child. While her loud burps are not always appreciated in public, Winter has over the years built a following on TikTok and YouTube where people indulge her odd talent.

The longest burp Winter has ever held is around nine seconds. The record for the “world’s longest burp” measured at 1 min 13 sec was achieved by Michele Forgione in 2009. However, Winter is not interested in breaking this record. “I’m not going for longest though, I’m going for loudest. I love to be loud and proud!” she said.
