[Doriana] We all scream for ice cream

What's the loudest body of water?

This is a bit of tongue-in-cheek puzzle. You could technically go through LTPF lists of continents, countries etc., but it might be more fun to approach this from a more lateral angle.

[Biograd1]

Some kind of sound perhaps?

[GalFisk]

Is the loudness heard? Measured? Implied? A pun? Is the body of water a lake? Ocean? Bay? Stream? River? Dam? Is it natural? Man made? CAPS RELEVANT?

[Traveller]

Niagara Falls?

[GalFisk]

Is its name in all caps? does its name contain an inordinate amount of caps? Does it have a name consisting of many words, all of which starts with a capital? Such As This Fine River Of Very Many Words?

Is its name in all caps? YES does its name contain an inordinate amount of caps? One could say so have a name consisting of many words, all of which starts with a capital? No Such As This Fine River Of Very Many Words? No, That's Not It

[GalFisk]

Is it an acronym? Is it allcaps because of the local language? Because of a translation? A mistake? Because its name is a single letter? Would it help to find out where in the world it is?
WAG: is it named "Å"? That's the Scandinavian word for a small river.

Is it an acronym? No Is it allcaps because of the local language? YES Because of a translation? A mistake? Because its name is a single letter? Yope, see below Would it help to find out where in the world it is? No, but see below
WAG: is it named "Å"? That's the Scandinavian word for a small river. No, but it comes from the same Germanic root meaning 'water'

********SPOILER********

In Dutch, ij is treated as a single letter, so it's capitalized as IJ at the beginning of a sentence or proper name. This makes the IJ the loudest body of water because it's constantly SCREAMING.

WELL DONE, GalFisk!
