An ongoing study utilizing the most recent scientific data on dinosaur vocalizations. Sounds are produced by myself and digitally workshopped from modern non-syrinx based avian reptiles. Using skull and olfactory cavity proportions, one can attempt to recreate the flow of sound, frequency, and volume of each animal. Much study is required for each particular species, and often several phases are trashed due to general unlikelyhood. The final results are based on acute representations of what sounds would be most comfortable and base-line for each animal. Video also includes 2 marine reptiles and a pterosaur, even though both are much more difficult to produce accurately.

Aim: To be more sophisticated than Julia Clarke's rendition, which included: combining the booming call of the Eurasian bittern with the growling vocalizations of the Chinese crocodile, and then scaling it up to T-rex’s estimated size (about 12 meters or 40 feet long), what they got was a ominous low rumble.

Every other dinosaur: Creepy, otherworldly sounds Dryptosaurus: Sounds like my grandfather stepped on a Lego brick
Would still scare the 💩 out of everyone if they’d encountered one These things weighed 1,7 tons on average and image how loud they would have been. Even Lions and Tigers who are way smaller can make incredible loud noises so imagine one of these things would make these noises near you
@@derfremdeausdemghetto6887 That Doesn't Change The Fact That They Sound Like They Tried To Eat Something Hot And Burned Their Mouth
This got a good little cackle out of me help-
That was scary as shit in my opinion like imagine being alone in the woods and hearing that sound off in the distance
Ok but imagine youre in the middle of the forest at night and suddenly you hear those noises coming from a short distance
People talk about how eerie and intimidating the T-Rex sounds, but the Triceratops does NOT need to sound like that.
Well, that sounds like an alligator/crocodile.
@@metalmaster6667 And this herbivorous dino DOESN'T need to sound like one of the most dangerous predators in the modern day.
@@TheZorlock Yes, but what I wanted to say is, that dinos and alligators are similiar (don‘t hit me if I‘m wrong), so its natural that they sound alike.
sounds like an engine, honestly would love to ride one
sounds like a clogged toilet
When I heard the Tyrannosaurus calls, I felt some kind of primal instinct to run.
It sounds like a death rattle
That’s what’s weird about it is that the first trace of humans didn’t exist until millions of years after the extinction of the dinosaurs… although you are right

I'm from Mesozoic era and I can confirm that this is 100% accurate. Its been 65 million yrs since I last say them. Its so Nostalgic to hear their voice again.
Ha
Oh man tell me about it! Today's kids will never understand how it felt to wake up by Dryptosaurus going "EEEEEHH UUH UUHH EEEEEEHHHHH" in the morning.
😅😂
@@onurunlu129good old days :(
As a carnotaurus, I agree. It's beena long while.
I want so bad to just see them with my own eyes. Dinosaurs almost feel like fiction because there's so little left of them, but it's infuriating to know that they were real and walked the earth just like animals today, but the gap of time is utterly untraversable.
I feel you on this one.
I've had that same thought my entire life.
@@Blinkptx Just to see one for 30 minutes would change my life.
@@StudioMod Preferably one of the biggest ones, but I wouldn't be picky. 🙂
“So little left” that means they are still out there…
It’s nice to hear their voice again after millions of years I miss my pets

@@maria-melek nah cause im the one who feed them and toke care of them
@@hope-uk6uhfeed them with...yourself u mean
@@hope-uk6uh hmm, then,why was there an proteceratops and velociraptor fossils that shows they were fighting each other ? And how did you raise an large predators that had an deep sounds that are sensitive to human organs,and we can't hear those sounds from our ears ? And how did you bring all those into one place ?
@@maisamzeiad1421 magic
I cant even fathom how loud a t Rex must have been.
God your entire body would vibrate. It would be chilling.
If anything it would be like an alligator bellowing. And that alone is already terrifying. Imagine a 17 foot tall animal making that noise
Fun Science Fact: human bodies are sensitive to what is called "infrasound", sounds so low that very few things currently around make them. Feeling these sounds (we can't hear them through our ears, we instead feel them with more sensitive organs, including our eyes) causes intense fear and anxiety, as well as creating hallucinations on the edge of your vision. It is believed these traits were beneficial by helping our ancestors avoid things like unstable cave formations and dangerously powerful storms, which are two of the naturally occurring versions of infrasound. Another naturally occurring source of infrasound is very large animals, including predators. This is entirely unrelated to the deeply terrifying sounds these animals potentially made, but imagining yourself increasingly anxious and seeing things on the edge of your vision while being stalked by a T-Rex sounding like the above might help you get a better picture of what experiencing this would be like.
Oh my. I’m absolutely going to use that information for a character. Thank you for sharing! I love learning about the weird little quirks humans have that we ourselves may sometimes consider superhuman or supernatural, when in reality it’s really just an ability most of us possess.
@@florpleborp2275 yeah, the above is believed to be a source of ghost hallucinations, as older houses can vibrate at these frequencies, especially if they're potentially structurally unsound.
That's so interesting! It makes sense we would have to evolve with such abilities but wow how cool
@@mol830 there's so many weird biological quirks that mutation just stumbled on and kept. "eyeballs hear Bad Cave Sounds" is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you for the information ❤️
Velociraptor- angry seal Utahraptor- cross between a pig and crocodile Dryptosaurus- man raised by gorillas Tyrannosaurus- prehistoric air raid siren Triceratops- evil rhinoceros Elasmosaurus- two whales made of rubber fighting Mosasaurus- the last sound you hear as the alien blaster disintegrates your brain Quetzalcoatlus- COD zombie charging up a space laser Spinosaurus- world’s most terrifying wolf

@@mb_allo-3023 a drill?
This version of the T-Rex sound is actually 100 times more terrifying than the ones I've heard in movies, that almost always sound like a loud horn. This is something more down to earth and at the same time sounds totally alien.

It sounds like a mix between bowser and freddy fazbear
and whats scarier is you would have felt the vibrations of it through your bones.

Honestly this video brings back my childhood fascination with dinosaurs, such a cool nostalgic feeling I can't put into words, thank you. It's like being in the museum for the first time again
I was NOT expecting velociraptor to make the exact same sounds as Jerma985 fascinating
Jerma985 what is that
Triceratops sounds exactly like what you'd expect. Everything else - some sort of strange nightmare.
Yea I figured I’d sound like a big elephant
To me I thought it sounded rather crocodilian-like with a mix of elephant
@@biohazard9164 definitely yeah
I hear like a crocodile
Velociraptor sounds about right
Those last few t-rex calls were really chilling. 100% would make jurassic world more creepy if they actually tried to be scientifically accurate. Edit : Stop harassing me in the comments please. I'm just a person who think these dinosaur calls would've been really really cool in the jurassic series. Stop leaving hateful comments with your own opinions that no one asked for.
Remember they spliced them with frogs in Jurassic Park, people seem to forget that.
@@HouseClarkzonian yeah, and it dosent really make sence imo, why not reptiles? Or birds.
@@ghartuckt663I'm pretty sure it was so they could logically have a reason for some of the dinosaurs to change their sex
@@sarahfreakinlynn isn't there a species of lizard that's all-female and reproduce asexually? I wonder if Michael Crichton didn't know about that. It would have been more interesting than the frogs.
yes only that t rex didnt sound that way. and i dont know who made up that shit. but pitching a few goose sounds deeper dont make a trex
My dog got very interested by spinosaurus sounds 😂 and me too. It's beautiful and eerie at the same time.
I was laughing at That dryptosaurus sound until...at 2:28 he started that satanic laughter like he knows something we don't know or as if we have fallen into some of his trap
These actually sound cooler than the roars and growls heard in Jurassic Park.
Just imagine after Jurassic World dominion. They reboot the franchise with accurate dinosaurs and these sounds
@@mukeshmalhotra9146 no, I don't want them to reboot it, I want them to create new original stories, they're just going to ruin the magic even with the accurate sounds, JP should just be left alone.
how dare you say that
@@ivyqup those growls are way more terrifying than your average tiger roar in Jurassic park
some of those are cool too, I'm amazed they made some new ones for the evolution 2 game given how lazy they are with their games.
You didn't have to add echo to make it extra creepy, but you did that. You did that for us.

@@jorgitoislamico4224🤯
😅
Yeah its strange because you dont hear elephants echo their voices yet they are huge
@@Saad_ibn_abdelaziz Because Elephants live in largely open and very flat land there's no echoes to be made, the planet back then in time of dinosaurs was a LOT more dense and extreme.
So beautiful we know they had feathers. Trying to replicate extinct sounds is amazing!
larger theropods did not smaller ones thought may have the only one that is confirmed has feathers is the Microraptor and we even know what color it was
"Dinosaurs arent monsters, we're just not used to them yet." - Some dude on the internet
Said no one ever
Yet
I'm literally standing in front of a life-sized reconstruction model of T.rex listening to the Rex sounds right now. It's making the experience a little more terrifying.
Yeah I don't think I could do that 😅 lol
Seriously dude? The T-Rex was the least intimidating of them all. It was weak. No way a walking mouth sounds like a god damn air horn. Like really?
@@shinigamigaming2941 that's your opinion, and a misinformed one, from the sounds of it, on that last part.
mosasaurus sounds like an alien trying to communicate
@@shinigamigaming2941T.Rex was the strongest, had the strongest bite force, and probably did sound like a bird like the one in the video, I don’t know what you’re yappin about💀💀💀
The Utahraptor is really scary, and I'm surprised no one is talking about the Dryptosaurus.
Yeah the Dryptosaurus is really terrifying
Nightmare fuel.
Dryptosaurus sounds like a person going insane
@@lordeppiothe1 ikr wheres the poorly edited tortoise sex mp4s?
dryptosaurus sounds like a gorilla or monkey
Have to say this is an awesome video well put together and equally terrifying at the same time
isn't it truly magnificent that we fet to hear the echoes of a long bygone past? love it. love their voices. wish they could hear mine.
I think a lot of pople forget that dinosaurs weren't monsters, they were animals. Beautiful, living, breathing animals.
Big carnivores are monsters
@@alifaizan4377 oh boy. It's people like you that give them a bad name.
animals are monsters
They are no more monsters than we are ourselves.
@@earthly_holiness1649 Ironically, I believe humans *can* be the most inhumane animals.
Thanks for the work guy's! I love dinosaurs since im a kid, and now i can her them over 65 million years later. Incredible🙌🏼
Its important to realize that these dinosaurs probably would not have made all these sounds at the same time. It sounds way creepier with all possible vocalizations that one dinosaur can make in quick succession.
Here’s a dino sound fact for you guys. Scans of a T. rex skull have revealed that their olfactory would have been adept at hearing low frequency sounds-even lower than we are capable of hearing. This means _those_ were the types of sounds they would hear in their environment. Imagine instead of being able to hear a T. rex approaching, you would *feel* the vibrations of its vocals getting closer EDIT: Definitely not the olfactory, but I’ve forgotten the name of the relevant part of the brain
and your eardrums would burst
@@jesusisafly8689 wait really
If it was hunting you, you probably wouldn't hear anything.
Kind of like an elephant, actually.
So...they smell sounds? 🤨
I remember someone saying how terrifying it would be if in Jurassic Park there was a dinosaur who could mimic human speech like a parot, and would use it to lure people to their deaths. Something like that could make for a really effective horror sequence in a film.
Parotasaurus
The terrifying thing is, there had to be at least one species of these mfs that could do that
@@koza9842fr we have ravens and parrots, there must’ve been some back then too
Half of these creatures sound like a human sometimes.
Mountain lions often sound like women screaming bloody murder and have inadvertently led many concerned campers right to them which leads to them getting attacked. Seriously though look it up. Mountain Lion cries are terrifying
4:39, my stomach when I watch cooking shows at 2AM. Joking aside, this video is so fascinating! It makes you appreciate how there is so much that is yet to be discovered. It displays the overwhelming power of nature
Isnt it strange how you can see so much about what 250 my ago mustve been like .. yet THIS is what for the first time sparks my brain into imagining these creatures like i'm standing in the middle of a forest with them. I know its a replication, but still. Those sounds register as very very real.
The Spinosaurus sounds like a demon in a nightmare. Imagine seeing and hearing one in a tropical forest. Same with the Dryptosaurus. It sounds like a man screaming in horror and hurt.
No wonder why they call it Dryptosaurus cuz it literally means to tear and this poor thing is tearing itself to pieces
He sounds like a fuckin monkey and a cricket, don’t kid yourself
@@Jay_Gut001 wat
I can imagine Kevin (one of the 3 heads of King Ghidorah) with those noises lol
dryptosaurus sounds like a gorilla screaming
Dude that mosasaurus gave me chills, imagining swimming in the ocean underwater and you hear that but see absolutely nothing 😭
That’s what I thought when listening to the Elasmosaur.
*thalassophobia activates*
Or imagine u are in a abandones tunnel and you hear the Dryptosaurus but all is Dark
soundin' like a god damn courage the cowardly dog monster
Bajo el agua? Jajaja eso vivia en la superficie
My dog liked this. He especially loved the “Spinosaurus”. Thanks!
So many of these vocalizations are so familiar. Amazing work, thank you for sharing.
This study really highlights how alien and otherworldly animals we've never met could sound. Also, animals in their natural habitat often make a LOT of noise when they feel like it. I think the dinosaur world could have been very noisy at times. If I was dropped into the Cretaceous I think a large part of my time would be hearing the weirdest, spine chilling noises and thinking "WHAT the FUUUUUHHUUUCKKK was THAT!!!??"
Awh don’t worry that was just Jerry ^_^
true lol
if it was nighttime and i heard the dryptosaurus call I think I'd just curl up into a ball and sob
lol yea, a walk in a nature reserve is always very noisy. Birds, insects, toads, etc. just living their best lives screaming all they like at their own leisure. It's quite nice actually.
@@crowdemon_archives sarcastic t wat. I guess you haven't heard monkeys, lions, elephants, flamingoes, hyaenas.. or maybe you think they all make tiny inaudible squeaks. P rick.
Velociraptor: Vaguely avian. Chittering, purring, and geckering, with a certain keenness and intent. Utahraptor: Distinctly aggressive; shutter-like, squealing, and scratchy, conveying restless fervor. Dryptosaurus: Guttural and panicked, like a gagging sheep, before crescendoing to a mad laugh. Tyrannosaurus: Reverberating bellows and hums, like a helicopter takeoff or an emergency siren. Triceratops: Similar to a crocodilian. Hissing, raspy, creaking, and hollow, but not without great weight. Elasmosaurus: An echoing ringing through the depths, like a ghost ship singing as it dances into the abyss. Mosasaurus: Nightmarishly deep and throaty, as a bullfrog trapped in a stereo system. Eerily moist. Quetzocoatlus: Shrill and alien, a sound unlike any other. Imagine an otherworldly ship calling to announce its discovery. Spinosaurus: A mysterious, lonesome whistle accompanied by dancing, high-pitched whimpers, followed by distorted screams.

how long did you spend writing this
i love this post it’s so accurate
I'd read anything you publish. Who are you? Your interpretation was as good as the video. Thank you Sir.
I don’t know why, but to me the sounds of the trike and rex feel like they’ve been switched,
brooooo this is wild, thank you for this, truly appreciated
This sounds amazing. I would like to experiment and get similar things for my videogames. What software do you use? are you using a physical audio modeling system or similar?
First I laughed at the Dryptosaurus, then I realized how horrifying it would be to hear coming from anywhere but my computer speakers.. Mosasaurus's calls were scary as hell, they just feel so alien and fear inducing. Same with Quetzalcoatlus, sounds like some hellish siren.
Honestly i thought one of the drypt’s was the best, the first half of it. The second half sounded too vowelly, like it had lips.
@@MackNcD … it did have lips.
@@jonahedmiston5144 I guess we don’t know either way because it’s body is largely speculative. But i suppose it could have lips. Anyway it sounded very human, perhaps an artifact that it was a human’s best shot at creating the sounds - and using himself as an instrument.
@@MackNcD why wouldn’t it have lips
@@MackNcD theres different types of lips. You're good bro. Dinos had non-flexible lips which makes it so producing vowel sounds is hard. Primates, like us, have flexible lips which makes vowel sounds easier to produce. The type of lip was discovered a while back by using the types of structures on the jawbone and skull and comparing them to the types of lips in modern animals. The structures in the bones most closely matched non-flexible to possibly semi-flexible lips. Even semi-flexible lips would make the vowel sounds difficult if not impossible. It's just the structure of the body and how sound/vocalizations work. Anyway, you were spot on if you were meaning lips like ours, which it sounded like you were.
Utah sounds like a possessed person and dryo sounds like a dying person. I love it, really reminds me of how sounds from animals like cougars and foxes where often attributed to witches and other monsters
Utah sounds like a sterotypical 1950's recording of a man saying babam
@@bigboss9337 but in all seriousness there is a bird that makes a similar call
@@airena1449 what bird is it
Fox screams really do be sounding like evil screaming witches tho

the marine dinosaurs sounds are just simply beautiful. i need a video of just them to help me sleep. love it. Well done 😌👏
Hello, there is no such a thing. Dinosaurs were not aquatic. If it lives in the water; it is not a dino. Sames goes for pterodactyls, they were not dinosaurs.

@@kalliopimagoulias1622 Ancient marine reptiles :)
@@kalliopimagoulias1622They were Lepidosaurs, which is the same group that snakes and lizards are in. Dinosaurs are Archosaurs, which includes crocodollians and birds (which are technically a type of dinosaur). The flying dudes were pterosaurs, which were very closely related. You could consider them the "siblings" of true dinosaurs.
This makes me think of a dinosaur based survival horror game set in a jungle where you just hear these calls all the time
The studio that did Subnautica could do this flawlessly.
I want a full on realistic Cabela's Big Game Hunter style simulator where you can hunt dinosaurs but sometimes you'll find yourself being hunted as well. Would be cool to also be able to play as a dinosaur and hunt the hunters.
ark survival evolved
Dino Crisis
@@TexasGreed That kinda sounds like a game from a while back called Evolve, just that it's sci-fi with alien wildlife instead.
The Tyrannosaurus is just absolutely dreadful. Hearing that in an eerie setting would immediately trigger your fight or flight response. But you don’t exactly have a chance of fight, only flight. That is if you can make it out alive. Same with Spinosaurus. It kicks in some major thalassophobia and The Bloop vibes.
Mammals that lived at that time would've been small and mouse-like. Our flight response would've put us below a tree. But I don't think a t-rex would be hunting those. Too small to be worth the effort.
Tbh it has Jack and the Beanstalk vibes. Ho ho ho ffee fifo fum and was pretty hilarious
Probably flight, also a T. rex is theoretically slower, so a human can easily run from one (that’s also why in ark you can run from a rex, because a T. rex is theorized to only speed walk and not run)
Made up phobia blah blah blah
@@Tabi-Kun the average person is probably not outrunning a T. Rex. They're theorized to be as fast as 25 mph
Craziest part about these sounds is that they are *only* the sounds. Imagine the feeling in your body from hearing a Mosasaurus underwater or the feeling of all your hairs standing straight up from the Spinosaurus's shrill.
Best thing i saw/heard in a long time. Horrifying and amazing.
That Quetzal call triggered some kind of primal "GET DOWN, DANGER IN SKY" feeling in me. I definitely wasn't expecting spinosaurus to sound like a loon, I was expecting something more crocodilian, but it was still very cool.
I guess when you consider a Spinosaurus like a non avian semi aquatic dinosaur you can kinda see certain loon similarities. Now I can't unsee and unhear spinosaurus like a giant reptilian loon
Weren't they mostly on the ground hunting?
@@akiraasmr3002 probably, they would have been like giant prehistoric death storks
@@akiraasmr3002 Some say they primarily ate fish in river water
Its not scientific, but I like to think the feeling we get from hearing primal noises like these are leftover instinct from out small mammalian ancestors telling us, "GET INTO THE BURROW !!!!"
they sound so "animal" rather than mindless monster. very interesting!
Sounds like both…… Don’t ask how
T Rex almost sounds like a cow, I'd say. Like a friendly giant who just happens to be a meat eater.
@@alijankhan3330 They actually look very pretty when given more accurate depictions, since their eyes were bigger and more facing forwards, it would really give you a sense on intelligence when you look at them :] (I got this impression from the reconstruction of Sue the T-rex)
i mean i dont think they would sound that similar to birds, just because they're closely related doesnt mean they sound the same
You can really hear the emotion in the Rex’s sounds
Even cooler than the sound in Jurassic Park! Excellent work!
All these calls me so happy to hear. It’s sooooo cool.
I love how they almost sound "bird-like". Almost makes them sound like actual bird ancestors rather than the ones in Jurassic Park
Well yeah the dinosaurs in Jurassic park are just cloned living things complete with frog dna to set thing even further
LOL, many of these sounds ARE modern bird calls that were simply edited. For instance, the Utahraptor features distorted Willow Grouse and Western Capercaillie calls easily found here on KZhead.
birds actually have evolved from dinosaurs :D
most of them sounds are actual bird sounds
@@mxxhi170 birds are dinosaurs
The Utahraptor and Dryptosaurus sounded the freakiest to me. Those deep rumbling and the guttural tones above at the same time?! Especially the Dryptosaurus hyena-like laugh just gave me chills. Cool video!
I agree. Those guttural sounds just trigger something primal in me, like reading a Lovecraftian tale. I feel so vulnerable.
The Quetzalcoatlus and the Spinosaurus were also pretty terrifying. The velociraptor sounds pretty cute, though.
Weird. Those were the least intimidating to me. The T-Rex was way scarier.
Hyena with an ape
@@gamayundoom This is when you know this shit is for real. We inherit things genetically, and when you hear those screams and it terrorize you to the bone, you know for sure those animals hunted our mammal ancestors for millions of years.

las ganas q me dan de ver como era y se escuchaba el mundo en esos tiempos... es inexplicable, q maravilla...
Honestly, the image of a gigantic creature making high pitched gibbering's instead of the expected low roar is far more terrifying. This is a fantastic soundscape, it really had me in the feel of a primordial world. They sound so alien to what we're used to hearing animals vocalise like today yet there's just enough familiarity in them that it sounds plausible.

@@ursadabear2810 yeah it’s spooky

This is insane. The velociraptor was cute but the rest of them instantly gave me unreasonable amounts of stress, especially the Rex and the Mosa.

I used to live in a house that was right next to a lake that would get loons swimming in it all the time, so despite it being in a lower pitch, that was a very comforting sound to me lol.
perhaps you were listening to spinosaurs instead of people on shrooms
You can also hear a lot of other familiar sounds of animals and objects in them. I'm curious about the preciseness of how they got the "pattern" of calls or communication if thousands of similar bird and reptile species have differing variety of communication sounds. We can't even specify the sound in different situations like when they lay eggs or when they are hungry, mate, agrressive, or when they are fighting or DYING.
Hi; Cretaceous Era survivor here. Crazy how accurate this is! If only they would talk about all the technological Advancements “dinosaurs” had made. I mean we wore lab coats and had degrees for goodness sake
The Mosasaurus sounds far scarier than how it was ever depicted in any movie c': and the Quetzalcoatlus is very fitting. Definitely sounds like death from above yep
you could possibly create a siren out of this noise, tbh any of these would work in terms of emergency sirens like tsunami warnings or whatnot. some better than others.
Kinda makes me wonder what the tylosaurus would sound like
@@ordovicianinnova Probably very similar since it's also a mosasaur of a similar size.
It's scarier when you think about hearing that thing underwater
@@liquidalumina7141 in the complete dark underwater 😳
I can imagine hearing multiple spinos across a large foggy lake in the morning. You can’t see them, only hear them communicating with each other. Very eerie… Edit: Hey wow thanks everyone for the likes!! ❤ Sea, lake, river or offshore mangroves, I just had a vision when I was walking the dog one morning near a big foggy lake.☺️
At least you could take some solace in the fact that they probably wouldn't have any reason to hunt you
@@mr.tomatohead3709 exactly!
Right, just distant silohettes beneath a moonlit cloudy sky. The fog of the bog rising, their far off footsteps sending large waves rumbling through shallow water. The heads look like lumbering trees, on the move…
Dragons.... 🔥🔥🔥🐉
@@hopetagulos RAOR
This is very beautiful and fascinating
beautiful sounds!
POV: You're an ancient mammal chilling, and this is what you hear everyday and every night.... This is primal fear... 6:16
I saw myself as a tiny rat trying to find shelter in a tree
Pretty sure they were interested in much larger prey, though.
@@matiassilva713 Kinda cute that we're all seeing ourselves as the little mammals
@@VOMITQUEEN that's what I'm saying
It kinda sounded like those laughs that are slowed down😭
From now on i'll simply pretend my neighbors stupid f-ing moped is a Tyrannosaurus
Fking Pinned LOL
BAHAHAHAHAH
moped?
@@tired351 what about it
@@simatro9797 what is that?
So, I'm sure science has changed slightly with the possibility of a larynx being found in a juvenile pinacosaurus as of 2023, but I am still insanely curious/captivated how you reached these sound conclusions. What animal inspirations did you use, and how did you pick the pitch? (from size of the fossils, diaphragm size area, etc. etc. etc)
The bill clapping of the velociraptor is a lil terrific
This is one of the only “what dinosaurs really sounded like” videos that actually seems correct and has proper research rather than being clickbait. I actually love this. Media heard the hypersound and lack of a larynx and really said “that means dinosaurs were silent- like crocodiles.” Like bruh, did you forget crocodiles still vocalize? Hiss and growl? Even bellow? The thought is just that whatever sounds they made, dinosaurs probably didn’t roar- and your video captures that idea flawlessly. Thank you so much for this!
that "hollow" throat rumble is on point imo I didnt expect spino to sound like it did, i thought itd be more like a the gator sounds, but im good with how it is haha
I thought the t rex produces low frequency sounds but this video makes them sound different, so which is it?
This isn't correct at all, cool video tho
@@ozgurmithri "tHiS iSn'T cOrReCt aT aLl" lmao watch out guys we got the guy with roamed with dinos... Please Ozgur, do show us your research on the sounds they made? I'm sure its more extensive and scientific than this video.
@@Ratmanbiggy The vocalizations in this video are purely speculative and most of them are taken from extant animals, mostly birds, the direct descendants of dinosaurs. Avian dinosaurs (birds) can make very diverse sounds due to their vocalization organ called "syrinx" It's really easy to track this organ in fossils due to the minerals it leaves behind. The oldest example of a syrinx we have is from a duck-like AVIAN dinosaur from 66 million years ago, from the cretaceous period. But if we look at non-avian dinosaurs from the same time period, none of them have any sign of syrinx'. Which means that they weren't capable of making diverse and loud sounds like the ones in the video, but make sounds similiar to growling and belowing at a very low frequency. Which we probably wouldn't even be able to hear, but would be able to feel their vibration. I suggest u educate yourself before calling others ignorant.
3:15 I can’t even imagine hearing a t-Rex on a foggy evening in the middle of a forest when it makes these reverberations, the echoes off the trees making it sound like it’s coming from everywhere, the only certainty that it’s getting closer and closer.
I HAVEN'T HAD A NIGHTMARE IN 5 YEARS DON'T MAKE ME START NOW
It didn't sound scary at all
maybe multiple rexes out there watching...
They wouldn't even bother you, they would waste too much energy trying to catch you
@@gamergrill4933 no shit Sherlock
Nostalgia hit different with this video 🙏
Velociraptor: sick crying yorkshire Utahraptor: what the mini zilla sounds should sound like. Dryptosaurus: some grandpa trying to scream or smth. Last part: if grandpas could growl Tyrannosaurus rex: something a certain siren would sound like Triceratops: loud ass burps Elasmosaurus: bloops son Mosasaurus: something ocean explorers cant even describe Quetzalcoatlus: police sirens Spinosaurus aegyptiacus: beautiful. But its some wolf, or dog barking combined with something you should always hear in the cretaceous era
Quetzalcoatlus is definitely the most unsettling. I'd love to see a movie scene with those sounds on a foggy day, high up in a mountain.
It's taken from a real animal alive today, the Channel-billed Cuckoo. The maker of this lifted that bird's call directly for this.
There's another video of a recreation of its calls and I think that ones so much more unsettling.
In a plane... wait a minute! Nah nevermind JWD doesn't count.
to me sounds like a nucleaur bomb siren
true but imagine being in the midle of a foggy swamp and hearing around the start of spinosaurus
Props to the camera man going back millions of years recording the dinosours sounds
many died
Delete this
bro this got to many likes
bro, it was the boon mic guy, not the camera man
funny some people still believe in the million of years thing
Awesome sounds.
What would help these days would be to figure the phrasing of these animals and their projecting vocals. It'd help solidify the world that existed back then to us in a way that could be understood. If only, but this is great.
Middle of the night and I've decided to sit in the dark and put these sounds loud on my speaker across the room. Just recreating the terrifying experience, very cool, lots of primal fear.
Who tf does this to themselves
I like the way you think
That's actually kinda cool
You indeed are a chad
Bro's got surround sound speakers
For anyone who is watching Prehistoric Earth on AppleTV, the dinosaur noises are absolutely fantastic and very similar to these.
Yes I was just thinking that especially the trex and quetz sounds.
I watched the first 2 episodes. Pretty good show
Shame no one has apple tv, that shit is dead
@@AverageAlien I just watch it on illegal streaming websites, we don't have an Apple TV+ in the Philippines 😅
@@AverageAlien some might say it’s… extinct… I’ll let myself out.
Loved this! The Triceratops sounds more ominous than the T Rex!
I feel like it should be a game of mixing the dinosaur to the their sound. I feel like I’d never guess it right.
That Quetzalcoatlus cry struck a primal fear in me that I’ve literally never experienced. That was absolutely horrifying, and I’m still getting shivers down my spine from the thought of hearing that in the distant night sky.
I agree my dude. The Quetz is horrifying.
You were a egg
And Mosa, that deep growl in the sea... it's like a chant of the darkness about to engulf you...
Man same, I wonder if there's an explanation somewhere as to why, it triggered my fight or flight and my heart rate jumped so much
@@megatronyeets maybe that shit used to hunt down our little primate ancestors and it triggered hidden instincts from a time were we were the preys
The T-Rex sound here is actually much scarier than anything heard on Jurassic Park or other films showing dinosaurs. It actually sounds like the calling sounds of the tripods from "War Of the Worlds". Picture yourself in a dark Jurassic forest in the middle of the night when it it is really cold and foggy and then you just hear those sounds of the T-rexes coming before you see them.
Cretaceous forest*, not Jurrasic
@@GlaxAScrimus Nobody cares, nerd.
I heard that you wouldn’t hear them coming rather you’d feel them coming. Like you’d feel strong vibrations. Terrifying man.
Not even hear, you’d FEEL it before you heard anything.
@@Brendan_InOT one thing that i always heard from hunters when they would encounter a predator in the wild: its not that you hear them before you see them, its that you will hear nothing, no other animal, the crickets stop making sounds. Eerie quiet. Thats when you know theres an animal on your ass.
The Dryptosaurus is wild! The T-Rex is similar to a chickens purr and crackeling. The Elasmosaurus is similar to whales. All of them are very cool & definitely seem more accurate than anything else.
i suppose its no coincidence how similar to avian calls these dinos were making.. totally rad project
I know this video is about the vocalizations but I love how the dinosaurs featured all look like real animals rather than monsters. The T.rex rendition here is particularly stunning to me. I also like the vocalizations for it here as well.
they all look kinda ''birdy''
@@rodrigoogaz3860. That’s because they are birds
@@rodrigoogaz3860 cuz they were birdy
@@rodrigoogaz3860 They were near
@@rodrigoogaz3860 well, it makes sense considering all of today's modern birds descend from them. The closest thing to dinosaurs today are modern day birds, even that little finch you could see in the fence singing in the morning.
What they each remind me of: Velociraptor: dolphin Utahraptor: pig Dryptosaurus: ape Tyrannosaurus: lawnmower Triceratops: semi truck Elasmosaurus: quiet whale Mosasaurus: toad Quetzalcoatlus: fire alarm/goose Spinosaurus: loon/coyote/the hose thing dentists use to rinse your mouth
Lmao
The triceratops sounds more like a crocodile to me
@@frederikminten2898 it was, crocodiles bellowing 100%
Spino sounds genuinely scare me
Also the velociraptor sounded kinda like a mix between an otter and a dolphin to me
The last 4 seconds of Dryptosaurus sounding like Mark Hamil Joker-chuckling makes this 10x more unnerving.
