A Cambridgeshire grandmother has been diagnosed with Britain's loudest snore which is said to be louder than a low-flying jet. Jenny Chapman, 60, , from Deeping St James, snores at a shocking 111.6 decibels - much to the dismay of long-suffering husband Colin, reports The Sun. That is louder than an aeroplane - and also easily surpasses the noise of washing machines, tractors, and speeding express trains. The excessive level of noise was recorded at a two-day snoring 'boot camp' - where Mrs Chapman was the loudest of six chronic snorers. She said: "I was shocked to hear how loud my snoring was at its peak. I knew I was noisy but not that noisy. "The experts said it was the loudest they had ever experienced. I can sympathise with my husband now - he's always complaining." Mrs Chapman has tried nose bands, pills and visited her GP countless times. Experts have recommended her to give up alcohol, eat healthily and exercise. Husband Colin, 62, said: "If I was a betting man I would have put a sweep stake on her coming out on top. To put it bluntly, the snoring is abominable. "It's been almost 20 years and I've not yet learnt to live with it. I do sympathise because Jenny doesn't only wake me and other people up, she wakes herself up as well."
