Interesting shrimp facts about sound. Pistol shrimp (also known as snapping shrimp) are famous for the incredibly loud snapping sound they make with their claws. The sound, which can be louder than a gunshot or jet engine, is produced by a rapidly closing claw that creates a bubble that collapses with a shockwave. This loud snapping sound can even interfere with sonar systems, as the US Navy discovered during World War II. Credit: Internet overview #seafoodlovers #shrimp | TX Shrimp Diva
