SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Sarah McCammon.
Last week, it was announced that a Virginia woman set a new Guinness World Record for the loudest belch by a woman. It wasn't me, I swear. Kimberly Winter recorded her attempt in April on air at a morning shock jock radio show.
(SOUNDBITE OF RADIO SHOW, "ELLIOTT IN THE MORNING")
KIMBERLY WINTER: (Burping).
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: It's 107.3.
(CHEERING)

MCCAMMON: At 107.3 decibels, Winter's belch is louder than a blender and some motorcycles. But, she says, I can be so much louder than that.
