Today we're exploring what dinosaurs actually sounded like, along with a funny velociraptor coincidence, a speculative T.rex sound and the closest we have to a dinosaur noise yet...

Theres something so primal about low frequency sounds that puts our monkey brains into high alert its actually commonly used in the background of horror movies.

[sophireal]

the T Rex audio is why we need a horror film with proper dinosaur representation. Could you imagine that rumble in a theater room?

[shawntucker]

that Trex sound made my cat all sorts of concerned

[npcz]

How absolutely badass would it be if some museum or company made a forest you could walk through with a massive sound system that would play these sounds. Something you could actually feel with your body.

that tyrannosaurus has the same effect as standing in a river with a territorial gator, you feel the growl through the water before you hear it.

I'm wearing noise cancelling headphones and the T-Rex part was crazy

[Mephilis]

Crazy thing about vocalizations is, there's usually more than just one frequency in a single vocalization. So imagine that the T Rex had this low frequency rumble going on, shaking you to your core, but that there was also an audible frequency that seemed out of sync with the rumble.

I could see a predatory dinosaur with the capabilities of a lyre bird, mimicking its prey's calls to lure them in.

If I heard that T-Rex sound, I wouldn't need to know what it was to crap my pants.

Parasaurolophus sounded like an elk or moose screaming into a tuba

[Kookasaurious]

Now im imagining a dinosaur with the vocal capabilities of a white bellbird

[cjalexanderjr]

When I visit the zoo, I can feel the rumbling of the elephants which are also known to produce infrasound.

The trex sounds like the unholy chimera of a tiger and a crocodile

Absolutely horrifying

[Forsworcen]

Good news is that you’re probably too small for a trex to expend any energy to chase down.
Bad news is that by the time you realize it’s taken a detour to come up behind you to see if you’re an easy meal it’s too late…

[nykolaiknack]

The trex scared my bird into flying away
Guess it's accurate enough to scare him

[fredwood]

A very low pitch sound will cause nervousness and even panic in an animal, just as it does today. Sounds, from machines, you can't actually hear cause anxiety and even discomfort, that feeling of foreboding and haunting. A predatory animal might use it to frighten prey into leaving cover, much like the high pitched cry of an eagle or hawk does. Many people have reported nervousness around elephants when they are sub-vocalizing, even feeling the rumble through their feet!

I can never escape that tortise video lol

[muddbear]

T-REX sounded like a badly clogged toilet? 9:20
😂 maybe that sound has always accompanied being weak at the knees

[summerfield]

I am really stunned, the sound effect of the t-rex is really horrifying. Complete missed opportunity for so many films and games.
