Feeding pigs? Wear earmuffs!

Sparky

Time for a quick quiz!

Which of the following subjects you to the loudest noise?

  1. Electric drill
  2. Tractor cab
  3. A pig squealing just before lunch

You guessed it—the pig. Decibel ratings from this article are listed at the end of this post.

This doesn’t apply to me, mind you. I’ve acclimated myself to my workplace. That’s just the kind of swine I am.

But if you’re wheeling chow from one regular ol’ barnyard pig to another—for hog’s sake, use hearing protection!

    Some pigs have been registered at 130 dB… For comparison, that is the sound of a super-sonic jet taking off… Yikes! Sparky, tell your friends to keep it down!
