What Did Dinosaurs Really Sound Like?

- Опубліковано 3 лют 2024
- When you think of dinosaurs making sound, you'll often think of Jurassic Park's classic Rexy victorious roar. However, science has sided with dinosaurs not taking this route for vocalization. Even the tyrant lizard king had a completely sound than what has been depicted in common media. So if you ever wondered what did dinosaurs sound like then you are in the right place!
If you enjoyed then I'd appreciate if you like and subscribed!

Just a couple of corrections for the mis-wording I put in this video.
1) For t.rex and bird ancestry, I should’ve cleared that up, birds are their closest relatives.
2) The artwork at 0:42 is by Fred Wierum.
3) The BBC itself isn’t accurate but has the funding to get expert opinion.
4) It's Chris Packham, not Chris Packson
Also You keep saying the word ancestor when you mean descendent. Chickens are not the ancestors of the T-Rex. They are the descendants.
You should do short faced bear vs American lion
You mentioned a Chinese crocodile, but that would actually have been a Chinese alligator that the sounds were based on.
T. rex doesn’t have descendants. They went extinct and stopped evolving.
Birds spilt off from dinosaurs in the Jurassic so they may be closely related therapods but they are not descendants of T. rex.

That low frequency rumble can travel a LONG way, so there would be no way to know exactly how far away it is. Terrifying.
but i'd assume that when it is close, the rumble of the t-rex would make your body vibrate
@@ashhplayz9489 Absolutely, and potentially if it was right beside you, the sound could make your eardrums explode. REALLY glad they went extinct LONG ago lol
@@ashhplayz9489 It'd feel like an earthquake. lol
LOL--and to also keep you up at night: crocodiles, squids, octopuses, and whales (sort of) both had family or were alive in the mid to late hight of the dino era are easily as smart or smarter than a dog, top of the food chain, and haven't needed to change how they're evolving dramatically in that many years....
The low.rumble would affect us on an internal level. You'd feel it in your feet first, then your bones and chest. Truly terrifying.
“What’s that rumbling-“ “RUN! SHUT UP AND RUN! IT KNOWS WE’RE HERE!” “Wha?-“ *Chomp*
That may be part of why we experience an intense sense of fear when hearing infrasound; behavior passed down over millions of years (as there are still animals that make that sound, ex: alligators and crocodiles, so maintaining it in some areas would make sense).
@@kyze8284 A theory of the T-Rex is that it was an ambush predator, because of its large size, it is seen as unlikely that it was a dinosaur that was actively hunted. The theory is also that they were deadly silent even for their size. You'd think you would notice when it would walk but you wouldn't.
Basically, you wouldnt know it was there until it had you in its mouth.
@@stoffni I was saying the rumble as the vocals as that’s what the entire video and comments are about
I’ve seen bears and even moose stalk through trees. A large ambush reptile with similar padding would make so much more sense than running down prey too, like what we imagine Carnos might have done. Cause a stampede towards others of the group who then ambush and take down prey from a set point on the escape path
Low frequency sounds are less directional than higher frequency (as far as I know) so it might be hard to tell exactly which direction it's coming from, and you'd probably be able to hear it from a long way off, if you can feel it in your chest it might be close, very close. Which would be pant wettingly scary!
Chickens can make some really unsettling noises. Scaling that up would be terrifying.
Indeed. Roosters sometimes make these short roars (if I can name them as such) to alert the flock of what he considers to be an imminent threat. And boy, scaling that to a several-ton T-rex would sound like distilled terror.
My chicken sometimes does a low level base grumble with mouth closed.
And turkeys thrum.
well, chickens are the last descendants of the T-Rexes, so...
@@mrcactuar8515
Last of that family of Therapods. Birds and T rex were both related, but one did not evolve from the other.
Like how we didn't evolve from Chimps. We share a common ancestor in the same family
4:06 That has got to be the creepiest image of a dinosaur I have ever seen. It feels like some ancient memory from a past life, when I faced a dinosaur like that and got eaten by it shortly afterward.
Primal fear.
Yeah I really hate the eyes...
That image really makes my skin crawl, there’s just something about it that’s so terrifying
But humans didn't exist back then, not even primates
Might be cool to live like a little mammalian rat tho
I remember reading somewhere that a fear of the dark is natural in humans because it dates from prehistoric times when there were things in the dark (for example leopards) that could see (and hunt) us when we couldn't see them. It's like a weird inherited memory from ancestors thousands of generations ago.
4:06 That's the most terrifyng image of a tyranossaurus rex i've ever seen. It's like genuinely taken from a horror movie or something. Goosebumps.
Mate I am glad it wasn't just me! My eyes instinctively wanted to look away from that singular image.
You ain't hiding from that by getting real still. It's too late. He has already seen you and set his focus on you. He has already gauged his range from you and begun imagining what you're gonna taste like. He has already unconsciously spiked his saliva flow to make sure your flesh doesn't stick in his throat and gag him as he rips bits of it off your live body. This is it. You're dead, dude.
@@Thundah Opposite for me, I could not stop looking at it and tensed up. Primal fear.
Fight or flight response there. Makes you feel like you've been spotted by a predator. Brilliant art.
you mean 4:08?
So instead of screaming at the top of it's lungs like an exorcised demon, T-Rex whispered like some edgy ghost?
It could probably rumble loud enough to make your heart stop beating temporarily
Listen with a good subwoofer. It has a lot of low frequency rumble; the kind you would feel in your chest. This makes it hard to determine the direction of the source of the sound and gives the feeling that it is emanating from within you and all around you.
@@krisspkriss Try PA speakers instead. Even on low volume, You will not only hear theme but feel with Your whole body. Normal subs may go much lower but diffrence in element size and how sound is distributed makes big diffrence. Have Zeck PA-s with 18 woofers. No sub has come close, even thou 19-20Hz is lowest these PA-s go. Even mid/high will go trough Your body ;)
@@antssaar863 I already have four SWAN M200MkIII studio monitors and a Klipsch Reference R-120SW sub. Trust me, I feel it with what I have.
Making a lot of noise let's your prey know you're around.
The "realistic" t-rex sound is terrifying, but I still love the JP t-rex noises as well as the other dinosaurs. It's some of the best sound design/editing ever put to film
Me Too
Me too
It's very good sound design. One thing not mentioned here is that while the sound presented would likely be the most common sound a T-Rex would make, let's call it a T-Rex at ease, it doesn't mean the animal wouldn't be capable of loud, open mouth roars, if it wanted to.
I like realistic more.

Okay, but the T-Rex one is actually terrifying. The way the sound would potentially reverberate through your body gives it a whole new level of a sense of danger. Something about the low pitch is much scarier than the Jurrasic Park version, it somehow feels more overwhelming. Fascinating!
3:48 this picture and that sound just made me think about what those things in real life would have been like and its freaky 😮
Don't listen to the T-Rex growl with complete noise canceling airpods in at 1 am by yourself😭
Too late 💀
Yoo i just put earbuds in, thats insaaaaaane
They're extinct...
Yes, I learned that the hard way!!!!
Lemme get my headphones and try it.
Reality is stranger than fiction. When making fiction, we make it from our understanding of the world. In reality, there are some things we never would imagine.
You make a very good point here. Our imagination does seem limited by our exposure to reality.
And there's a lot of reality out there!

I really like your mentioning of caveats and possible inaccuracies! "Impotant to recognize this does not take into account unfossilized soft tissue", "remember that most birds produce sound with sirynx so using larynx may be incorrect", etc. It's all too common to see people acting very confident with their recreations when we simply don't know. I also appreciate how you explained the sources of the noises and the reasoning behind them.
imagine walking through the jungle and hearing all those noises. way more terrifying than some loud roar
If you've ever felt the rumble of an elephant then the T Rex sound will hit you harder. The body feel of it is what gets you the most.
Just imagining how it would be to hear that through trees in the dark, feeling the vibration from it and the ground trembling, along with snapping branches and shifting trees... Without seeing the source, that would induce dread in just about anyone. Seeing a lizard that size make the sound would probably be enough to make a person either freeze in terror or run screaming like a child
I was thinking that a very strong low rumble, like a strong bass, instantly gives you the idea that you are facing something really big, like a whale sound, a high pitch roar can be made by small animals, like my old puddle lmao, but a strong low pitched sound is not something you will often find in small animals
@@UnswimmingFishYTIt probably would’ve stayed silent while hunting so you don’t suspect anything, very scary
I hear the rumble of a tiger is felt before heard.
Yooooo, the T'rex one is WAYYYY scarier then from the movies. Imagine hearing that at night while out camping. You wanna talk about a primal fear? That would do it. Very interesting topic my friend. Great work.
You’re in a tree nest looking out over a clearing and all of a sudden a dozen deer fly out of the trees to your left and across the clearing and out of sight. It gets quiet for a moment. Then you hear, no, feel this sound through your body. You scan the trees wondering what the fuck is going on but see nothing out of the ordinary. You hang the bow over your shoulder and grab your binoculars but it’s getting dark and with a gentle breeze flowing through the forest, you cannot discern movement. In your growing panic you think about scrambling down the tree and to your atv, after all, the others back at camp aren’t that far. But before that thought completes the wind dies down and you listen. Everything in the woods seems to hold its breath.. all but one. You hear a steady inhale. Then an exhale. You scan the forest once again with your binoculars.
The radio cracks and a branch snaps. You turn the radio off and peer into the darkness. From behind you hear the sound of a flare firing into the sky and then you see them. Two eyes ten feet off the ground staring back at you, unmoving. The glow of the flare dies and the eyes vanish.
A scream sounds in the distance.
Sounds like my granpa farting.
Scarier than
@@PvtPartzz absolutely bone chilling! Do you have reddit or any other social media where you write more stories? I would honestly read an entire book written like this
I doubt T-Rex would prey on human.
With headphones the T-Rex sound sends chills that it almost stuns and tells you not to move or make noise
I really like Studio’s take on what they sounded like. The trex is the most terrifying yet hilarious rendition I’ve ever heard. One minute it sounds like a giant goose, next it sounds like an alien war machine.
The T. rex sounded like some horror movie monster, gave me chills. Gonna use that for DnD now…
I think that was mostly used for mating and conversing with younglings, there is no reason to scream at prey. If T-Rex wasn't a silent killer, walking slowly and methodically, it wouldn't reach the back of the neck of a Triceratops. It would probably run pretty quick in extremely short bursts as well, due to the mass. Like a crocodile, just sitting patiently, quietly, until the sudden snap.
Bro I have my buds in with full volume. That fucking rumbled in my head
@@vaporean_boylove.0w083 same, plus i'm watching at night so i'm spooked to say the least
Terrifying
As I certified bard I'd still seduce :3
The Parasaur sounds like a musical instrument of war announcing the presence of a terrifying army.
Sounds like a giant goose
That’s a haunting analogy, To me it sounds like some of those ‘trumpet’ noises people have been hearing.
@@Asaph-bo4npHONK!
Yes, buddy everything sounds like war to you.
check out the carnyx, an old Celtic instrument
The T-Rex one was actually kind of hair-raising. I did not expect that! Jurassic Park's dinos will always be iconic, but I find these new discoveries fascinating. I wish we could know for sure, that would be amazing. Like in JP 3, when they made a 3-D model of a raptor's cords.
5:07 mf that was a fucking train or truck horn
The trex sounds like godzilla charging up his atomic beam 💀
Just like a croc
@@Asaph-bo4np Crocoldiles have atomic beams? lol
On a PERSONAL level, I adore the JP sound library.
On a SCIENTIFIC level, the idea of being able to hear a sound that hasn’t been heard on Earth since ≥65 MYA is TANTALISING.
that sound coming from something the size of a building can become overwelming
Imagine the T-rex walking around making chicken sounds?
I think a T-rex sending out a bone-shivering rumble-clatter that you feel more than hear is pretty terrifying. You wouldn't be able to tell just where this echoing, deep clicking sound came from, only that you can feel it in every part of your body.
Makes me think it'd sound like the Predator only ultra-low register, or like a gator's rumble, just way more intense. Maybe not supremely loud, but given it'd hit your body like a shockwave, it'd SEEM loud.
If our bodies felt it then it must be have they saunte.
T. rex sounds like a helicopter 🚁
idk I felt a bit relaxed as I heard it 😅
If I remember correctly, it was the real T-rex one that added some infrasound.
My cats would become clearly agitated if I played it and I sent a link to people whose dog REALLY didn't like it.
It hits that "ohhhhh, this is BAD" vibe on such a deep level it isn't even genetic, but pure physics.
For real, that feels primal. There's gotta be some deep deep mammalian trauma in all of us from that.
I was playing this video really loud and my dog did NOT like the T. rex sound lol
that first rex sound example is one of the most unsettling and horrifying sounds i've heard.
I felt my heartbeat quicken involuntarily when I heard that T-Rex rumble.
Hearing "living ancestors" is making me have an aneurysm.
heh
Blows me away that someone could get the word all mixed up like that!🤣
I think he was referring to crocodiles, since they didn't descend from theropods but did share a common ancestor with them... but yeah, the phrasing he used is odd.
made me dislike. lol
@@livewire2759 nah man, he wasn't.
Media cant even accurately get existing sounds right, for example, eagles (and many birds of prey) often use the sounds of hawks, the iconic "eagle screech" is from a red tailed hawk. Lions also often get vocalizations from tigers. It's easy to get the depictions of dinosaurs wrong compared to that (and at least to jurassic park's credit, the dinosaurs there aren't "real" and were apparently stated to purposely be engineered based on the pop culture depictions of the time). As stated at the end, it's easy to be wrong in an ever-changing field where views and opinions are always clashing.
To be fair, a Golden Eagle and Red Tailed Hawk do sound eerily alike. Using it for a Bald Eagle however, that usually chirps, is always annoying. Not even going to mention it being used for MOSTLY SILENT buzzards
@kyze8284 I mean, I guess. I wouldn't really call it annoying though, it's a lot prettier sounding than the seagulls people compare it to. It's a "sea eagle" after all, it makes sense for such adaptations to occur. Trying to humanize what does or doesn't sound cool in nature is dumb imo anyways, since they take function over form.
Though I will say that I doubt size determines pitch in animals, it often depends on environmental surroundings and what travels through it better.
Yes. Tigers sound way cooler than lions. Thats why they always use tiger vocals.
@@TheBakuganmaster99 pretty much why eagles sound like hawks.
The difference is that media does that to make the most impressive LOOKING animals SOUND as impressive.
That is oddly relaxing.
Me: *is in the way*
Dinosaur: *Honks agressively*
The trex sound here 3:44 sounds like Godzilla snoring and it's still terrifying.
I imagine they sounded more a mixture of hisses, growls, chirps etc. with theropods producing more bird-like vocalizations with a mixture of hissing and crocodilian like "roars" while herbivorous Dinosaurs like the ornithschians, produced more reptilian vocals. Sauropods I imagined just bellowed, producing loud trumpet sounds, maybe deep roar like screeches? Kind of like a large bird but with a very deep tone, i do think some dinosaurs did roar though
So kinda like an elephant?
@@hungedteddy7971 not counting with vast variation of other sounds too like modern birds and some reptiles like geckoes that can be very vocal for lizard. Maybe some birdlike dino have weird haunting howl like certain owl or creepy screeches
Nice video, well compacted and also the length is perfect for even for you to get monitization on the video. Though I think there should have been an example of the ticking noice they make from their throat.
How angelic sounding. Literally like trumpets. Kinda wild but also beautiful
Imagine this, you're standing in a clearing and something shakes you to the core before you hear a strange, muffled, almost inaudible rumble, you look around as you and see nothing as fear slowly creeps into your mind. After a while of looking into the surrounding forest, it happens again, this time even more intense before hearing that rumbling, this time closer and you freeze as a deep, primal fear takes over. Then you hear a soft thud and then another and another along with the sounds of rustling leaves and snapping wood, your eyes frantically scanning your surroundings, as you realise that these are the steps of something big and after what felt like hours, a gigantic predator emerges from the foliage, its mouth barely open, immediately letting you know that it is the source of the rumbling, as its throat vibrates, shaking you to the core with calls partly below your hearing range, unheard, but not unfelt. It briefly glances at you with piercing, amber eyes before continuing its march across the forest. As it steps away, you notice that you are shaking, your heart beating faster than what you thought was possible and slowly and steadily, you relax, one muscle at a time as you ride your motorbike to safety.
Bro this is awesome, go write some horror short stories like this you’d be great at it
Use your spaces... otherwise, nice.
bruh that ending tho! i picture pratt's character in JW riding that bike with blue & the crew running at his side

Great job as always, man!
omg hearing the nose literally made my headphones vibrate and i could feel my skull shake as well, i cant even imagine what standing in front of one would feel like
I love the sound design for JP. That said...I’m ready for more realistic, yet creepy, depictions of these animals. Some creepypasta type content with dino home invasions, stranded in the woods or the side of the road in a broken down car with dinos around, or a school lockdown due to a dino entering a side door and getting into the building.
Give them weird bird/reptile like behavior and sounds. I’m ready!
Might I suggest the original book?
I’ve read it. Love it.
I wish the movie went along that route. I would love more content in the movies to depict this creepy, gory material, or maybe a show on a streaming channel.
@@Betweentheraindrops8 Funny you say all that. Having seen JP in theaters when I was a child, I've had many nightmares involving the T-rex, to the point in the last one I remember... I saw it and said, "not you again!" lol
I would go for audiobooks rather than creepypastas: Most narrorators don't even bother getting their words right, much less the ambience.

Have you ever heard the sounds of a cassowary? If not look it up and imagine something like that scaled up to t-rex size. Seriously that would be far more terrifying that the high pitched screams of the movies because you would feel it as much as you hear it.

If you guys havent check some of the full videos on the realistic Trex sound, as whats in this video only scratched the surface of how terrifying the sounds are.
That parasaur sounded like a damn boat
I’d imagine the tyrannosaurus having a wide range of vocal ability. Using both loud roars and low bellowing for intimidation, normal communication, mating, distress calls, etc. I just can’t see it having the low bellowing without the ability to roar. The sounds it made could’ve also changed with age, like a human going through puberty. Imagine hearing a juvenile tyrannosaur’s voice crack🤣
Even the tiny western fence lizard can make an impressive hiss. I can only imagine what an eight ton relative sounded like.

"What Did Dinosaurs Really Sound Like?" You gave the answer in the thumbnail already!
Wow! That sounded like horns in a symphony. Makes sense looking at the images. It looks like a horn. Beautiful sound.
Hear the T-Rex sounds literally made me feel uneasy! It sounds very disturbing and threatening for some reason,like hearing an earthquake shaking the earth beneath you and the buildings cracking around you ....
The Parasaurolophus sounds pretty majestic if you ask me. It fills me with awe and wonder. Maybe I just don't get something, but I heard the rumble at the museum that they think T-Rex likely used and I have to be honest the rumble just doesn't scare me at all. To me the JP roar is much more frightning.
The Parasaurolophus sound made me think of a carnyx.
Somebody else already said this better, but if you listen to the T-rex sound with good subwoofers, you'll notice that it's more of a low frequency rumble. IRL you wouldn't just hear it but you'd feel it in your bones, and the worst part is that it would sound like it's coming from every direction at once.
It also doesn't help that it sounds alien. We already have modern animals that can roar like lions but I don't know of anything that sounds quite like T-rex.
I imagine that T-Rex less intense version is like you did something deathly wrong to hear that and by the time you turn around to try to see what you did wrong it eats or mauls you to death. Far creepier than any Hollywood depiction.
love the T-rex rendition, straight outta horror movie.
imagine hearing that sound resonating in you guts and thinking "oh! there's a T-rex somewhere in five mile radius"
although i have to add - there's a distinct high freq cut as an artifact of slowing down a sound, in reality it likely has more high freq info in the signal. like a saussaphone from hell, or a diesel engine on low rpm.
I just know if I woke up in the Mesozoic, I'd die of a heart attack from the sounds before I was even eaten, and that makes me like dinosaurs even more.
JP rex does sound scary, hearing that in the wild would make one fearful but still functional. However there's just this indescribable feeling deep down in my gut when I hear the real thing. It's just scarier in a way that words can't describe, an instinct or a reflex more than a thought. Certain types of tiger roar frequencies can paralyze one with fear due to the audio/physical frequency combo. I imagine a real rex would affect a human even more severely
Good call
Honestly, I like the real noises more than the ones from the movies. It’s interesting to know that they didn’t just roar, and they could make a variety of different noises. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to know exactly what they sounded like, and how they communicated.
The low tone of the T-Rex is much more unsettling that the loud yell. Instead of shooting you up with adrenaline, you rationally know and feel you are in deep danger.
The parasaurolophus sounds are just so elegant and beautiful, it makes me appreciate the beauty of this world and everything in it. The combination of all of the notes and sounds of each parasaur making a sort of melody that is actually appealing to the ears is just so fascinating to me.
So a T-Rex would sound like a huge roided up shoebill?
The slowed down loon being passed off as spino made me think that the whole "slowing down a similar/related animal's sound" for dino audio reconstruction seems pretty bad for confirmation bias start to finish, even if it produces believable results. Take the preserved ankylosaur's larynx - which we only got bc it was mummified - and imagine if we'd never found it.. we'd probably be making ankylo vocals from like armadillos or turtles. Even the tyrannosaur sound just assumes that the vocals can be pitched to scale with the animal it's recreating, which just doesn't physiologically pan out with anything other than vocalizations close to a sine tone (and even then the overtones don't match, like the tiger/cat video) bc of square-cube law and flow dynamics across those larger surfaces.
Going back to spino; it'd be interesting to see an actual reconstruction of their possible vocals, especially given that the retracted nostrils and smaller antorbitals would give them nasal resonances different from basically any other theropods.
That second dinosaur sounded like a boat horn
4:40 i feel like ive been taken back millions of years
The realistic parasaurus sounds like my boiler at night 💀💀💀
I have always had a weird obsession for the noise a crocodile makes. The way you can feel it reminds me of thunder that makes me giddy af. So the idea of the Trex being like that x10 makes me shiver in delight and gosh I would be terefied but I would be too mesmerized to run in time to not be eaten.
Imagine time-traveling and camping in a pre-cretacious forest, how terrifying and unfamiliar it must be
1:58 - loved that stage in SvC Chaos
If you ever made a part 2 I have a suggestion for the dinos Pachyrhinosaurus, Albertosaurus and Saurophaganax
Prehistoric Kingdom used the Parasaurolophus simulation for their sound design.
The idea of a silent and stealthy T-rex announcing himself with a silent low frequency groan only moments before striking is even more terrifying than a straightforward roaring T-rex
Fascinating video. Thank you! 🦕 🦖
I want to see someone take a plastic model of a life size Trex head and with the mouth open place a big tuba or didgeridoo mouthpiece where the gullet should be and blow. That would be what a Trex roar would sound like.
the trex vocalization is surprisingly relaxing. the weight of the rumbles reminds me of a cats purr, obviously louder and deeper, but that same sensation of being vibrated all the way through. the deadliest purr ever
Been looking into this kind of stuff for a project of mine. Fascinates me to see what people think they may have sounded like.
it is important to note that even elephants can vocalize in frequencies that the human ear can not perceive, so we likely wouldn't be able to hear something the size of a t-rex at all unless it is deliberately communicating a threat to us.
instead we would feel the effects of the infrasound, such as anxiety, hallucinations and a sense of impending doom.
That low rumble would vibrate right through your body and not knowing what direction it was coming from would be very unnerving! Definitely asbestos underpants required in that scenario 👀
3:43 would be one of the most terrifying things in the world. That is like, primally unnerving to hear
Parasaur straight up sounds like a trumpet or some wind instrument and I love it. Imagine being nearby a herd of these beasts and you hear a distant mating display. It's just Careless Whisper.
That Tyrannosaur, it is purring!!! So cute :) Any chance for longer clip?
Like ~30 minute based on original bird "song" - I think this has huge ASMR potential 🤔
I absolutely love the amount of effort you put into this video and supplying the references for the information. A little while ago, the "real T-rex sound" clip was going around with little to no information about what consisted of the sounds or what research went into the sound. You did an outstanding job putting the information and recordings together! 🙌
3:43 ok sounds like a stretch, but its even more intimidating for me cause it sounds eerily similar for that sound effect in the flash cw show they always play in the background when reverse flash is on screen
my dad makes deeper noises when he snores
The one with the crest sounds like those metal-legged chairs that you have in school being dragged across the tile floor
