Real T-Rex Sounds

These are recreated sounds by blending and deepening crocodiles and birds mumbling noises as they are the closest relatives to the T-Rex. The T-Rex likely only made low noises like this as they do not have a larynx or syrinx.

I work at a zoo, and hearing the lion roar from up close sends chill down your spine. It makes your whole chest vibrate. You never get used to it. I can't imagine what it must be to have a much bigger creature in front of you.

These low-frequency, ultrasound types of noises, which dinosaurs such as T rex were much more likely to have produced than the classically associated roar, are so much more intimidating. These bellows and woops make them sound utterly alien.

Edit: infrasound* (sound acoustics is not my area of expertise!)

You'd very much FEEL it more than hear it honestly. Those low frequencies will vibrate your insides like crazy

"What about Cooper?!"
"Forget him, times up."

If I heard this in a movie, I'd be on the edge of my seat. This is incredibly terrifying. Fantastic sound design.

As iconic as those roars from Jurassic Park are, this just adds a completely different sense of fear that's both raw but incredibly primal.

I remember reading Jurassic Park as a kid. There was one part that always stuck with me. In the book a park attendant leaves the two children in the car when the T-Rex comes. He describes the sound of the T-Rex as a primal terror “something no man was ever meant to hear”. These sounds also fit that description.

Idk why but at 0:21 I find that sound strangely soothing but menacing. It’s like the prehistoric past has come back to haunt us

[jondobson]

This is actually really creepy but strangely relaxing at the same time.

For a moment it sounded like the Godzilla's atomic breath charging up. That said, while the T-rex roars as we know them from Jurassic Park were scary, imagine walking through the forest and hearing -these- sounds. They sound scary af too.

This is way more terrifying than movie depictions and i LOVE IT

[hildebrand]

I think the most ominous part is that it’s not a roaring sound; it’s a quiet sound, but simultaneously it’s deep and conveys the power of its owner.

[Ballingerdalinger]

The very last sound you would wanna hear at night in a forest

[NO-geci]

Many people find this scarier than roars in the movies and that's probably because this is realistic, our instinct tells us that it means danger

[pamelachilds]

Damn. It’s eerie and spine-chilling. I never knew that a T-Rex can be like a whale making those sounds. Never believe what Jurassic Park had made everyone think that they know what dinosaurs sound like. Even it’s easily mistaken for a Parasaurolophus call. But what would it’s growls sound like?

[alphaobed]

Scary but still cool . Jurassic Park and Jurassic world would have been horror movies with these realistic sounds . I wish it was so.

[TheBatman]

Imagine hearing this at 3am while sleeping in the woods with no covers, just out in the open woods. This sound just sent shivers down my spine 😖

[EmlynBoyle]

Imagine hearing this on a dark night, in the open ocean. Amazing, but terrifying.

[JakeLovesCoffee]

If you take dinosaurs as an example it’s quite scary to imagine what could potentially exist on other planets

[MrldDaDoge]

Even my dog got terrified hearing this, immediately rose up out of instinct
