Zhang Quan, 70, of Chongqing city, had his clapping monitored by local environmental protection officials, reports Chongqing Business News.
His claps measured 107 decibels - only slightly lower than helicopter blades which measure 110 decibels.
"When I am clapping, even my own ears feels painful, no mentioning of others. That's why I usually don't clap," says Zhang.
Workers from the environmental protection bureau confirmed that technically Zhang could face arrest for noise pollution if he clapped too often.
