A montage video shared by Guinness World Records on Instagram showcased Kimberly Winter’s burping prowess on several occasions, celebrating her achievement as “Loudest burp (female) 107.3 dB (C-weighted) by Kimberly Winter.”

According to the official GWR site, Kimberly Winter’s thunderous burp measured an impressive 107.3 decibels (dB), surpassing the previous record of 107 decibels set by Italy’s Elsa Cagoni in 2009. To put it into perspective, her burp was even louder than the sound of a blender (70-80 dB), an electric handheld drill (90-95 dB), and some motorcycles at full throttle (100-110 dB).

In an interview with The New York Post, Kimberly revealed her secret to success, saying, “I had an iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich from Dunkin’ and one beer as a backup.” She further disclosed that while she can burp with just “a little bit of water,” spicy food, alcohol, and soda aid her in delivering the loud burps. Describing the technique behind her powerful burps, she explained that she manipulates her deep breath “into something monstrous and magical.”

Kimberly’s entertaining burps on TikTok Live have earned her a devoted fanbase, where she fulfills burp-related requests, including doing “closed-mouth burps” and burping people’s names.
