The Arizona Commission for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing (ACDHH) has released its 2018 list of the top-20 noisiest toys. Noisy toys are categorized as any toy that reaches a sound level of 85 decibel or higher consistently.

On a more serious note, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 85 dB is the maximum volume a child should be exposed to for no more than eight hours.
