It depends on how you intend to measure loudness. Whale songs can be heard for hundreds of miles.

Loudest animal in the world is....
... A Blue Whale

Blue whales mostly emit very loud, highly structured, repetitive low-frequency rumbling sounds that can travel for many miles underwater. Listen to it here - http://newport.pmel.noaa.gov/whales/spectrograms/blue24s10x.wav

The call of a Blue Whale reaches 188 decibels.
The blue whale is much louder than a jet, which reaches only 140 decibels! Human shouting is 70 decibels; sounds over 120 decibels are painful to human ears. The second-loudest animal on Earth is the howler monkey (Alouatta).

Monkeys can really push the decibels when they scream.

The loudest animal sounds are the low-frequency pulses made by blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and fin whales (B. physalus) when communicating with each other. They have been measured at up to 188 decibels.

Hope this helps.
