Still Waters Posted June 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's an iconic scene in every dinosaur movie: the huge, conquering carnivorous theropod rears back and lets out a terrifying bellow. But how close to reality are these sounds? Do we have any ways of using science to figure out what dinosaurs and other stem-birds may have sounded like? Do we have evidence that they made sounds at all? http://io9.com/what-...make-1591173199 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplos Posted June 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think they said, "Meep!" Really, I think a T-rex making a hollow bellow or clicking noises like they say in the article would be even more frightening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted June 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Very interesting article, I've often wondered if they made sounds as todays lizards seem to be silent, I guess we can only assume they made some noise . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac E Posted June 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I like to think they meowed. Jurassic park would be full of large lizards pretending to be cats. Give them a giant ball of yarn and they are content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted June 19, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Interesting. However the article assumes that the Dinos weren't color blind as many animals seem to be or so we think. Edited June 19, 2014 by paperdyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Trinity Posted June 19, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Surely this is just an academic question as there is no way to verify that ACTUAL noise... It could have sounded like Justin Bieber in a blender for all we know ..... oooh I just made myself really happy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenemet Posted June 19, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Interesting. However the article assumes that the Dinos weren't color blind as many animals seem to be or so we think. This is true. Paleontologists think they had some sort of color vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblykiss Posted June 19, 2014 #21 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Mine makes a listing whimpering sound. However when I unleash him on moralists and gov't officials he tends to make a growling-purr sounds intermixed with shattering of bones and a soft liquid squelch of tearing organs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllJay Posted June 19, 2014 #23 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It would be quite an odd "out-of-character" feeling if you ran into a T-rex and he went..>> http://youtu.be/Dnx0z1cC8u8 I wonder if the urge to pet him would take over..........or maybe not.

Bendy Demon Posted June 20, 2014 #25 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'd think the T-Rex made sounds similar to a crocodile. Low grunts and stuff. I don't think they ran around roaring all the time though like most shows portray. Wouldn't make sense; especially when hunting. I mean, what animal is gonna go hunting then when it has its prey in sight, starts roaring or making all sorts of racket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
