The loudest sound ever created would be a volcano. Volcano Krakatoa near Sumatra & Java exploded on 27 August 1883. Heard over 1/13th of the surface of the globe. Sent rocks 34 miles into the sky & took 10 days for the dust to settle. 26 times the power of the H bomb. Still only a fifth part of the explosion from Santorini in 1628 BC of the Aegean Sea.
I think it's my wife shouting at me to get off this computer!
As there's scientific knowledge to back up the Big Bang, perhaps you could say that was the loudest sound ever.
Not sure, but have you seen the articles about teen-y Pop Idol Gareth Gates' fans being the loudest ever? - apparently they were recorded cheering for him at over 100 decibels, the level of a jumbo jet engine at take off! hard to imagine a sound even more annoying than his singing....
