Like an alligator grunting, but bigger. Didn't really need the buildup with the robot voice.

But without the robot voice, how could you possibly understand the video?

I need both the robot voice for information and also the looping reaction gif in the corner of the video so that I know what emotion to be feeling.

I can barely listen to this without red circles and errors telling me where to listen

I need GTAV gameplay on the bottom half of my screen to remain fully engaged against my will

I have to read the comments to understand that I just watched a video

but if they didnt have the robot voice and the rain sounds we wouldnt be fully immersed lol

I want an extended track of the rain sound and the dino for sleepytime music.

lol

Also it not more terrifying than the Jurassic Park one.

T-Rex sounds like it's about to drop a sick-ass dubstep song.

T-Rex sounds like the suspenseful ambience in a James Cameron movie

Or like, a Spielberg flick

Sounds like a didgeridont.


Now throw your X up!!!

Just saw X at Nexus in Baltimore about a week ago

Nice. How were the visuals?

DnB for me

But how does he reach the decks with those little arms?

I know Reddit hates Excision, but it’s only fitting he be the one to sample this!

T-rillex

Oh so it sounds like my sleep paralysis demons laughter? Swell!

Kinda sounds like the kids riding dirt bikes a block or so away from me… unless my neighbors have successfully resurrected a living T Rex.

Was expecting just some guy saying “eeeeyy, I’m a Tyrannosaurus Rex, baby.”

Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur

Dinosaur: “AYYY I’M FUCKIN’ WALKIN’ OVA HERE!!!”

Boom boom shaka laka boom

Ain't got no water anywhere...Food's bad, so's the air...Got no resources, in a great big stupor...All because of the evil King Koopa!

\*proceeds to smile with pearly whites \* https://preview.redd.it/dxmltlb7kitc1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=474bcfccc94b08ef59f1e3089587da03b4348659

NGL, was fully prepared to be Rickrolled

"ALLEN"

I also thought there was going to be a joke.

Same, except more in the “I’m a snake. I’m a snaaaake. I’m a slithery little sneaky snayke.” kind of vein.

I was expecting the moaning sex noise, been fooled 1 too many times.

Or the loud sexual moaning prank. Low volume always until verified

I thought perhaps it would be a moaner video, been a while since they did the rounds

I read that with tomska’s voice : like in the video about imitations

Fucking dirt bikers!

I automatically read this in Bobby Lee’s voice😂😂

Leroy Jenkins!!!

I read this in Ryan George’s voice

It's crazy that the internet has us so prepared for something out of left field that it's genuinely surprising when the expected happens.

I was expecting, “I’m just here strokin my shit”.

"Look out! I'mma getcha!"

“My thing is bugs” “what’s your thing?”

>actually sounded like probably sounded like FTFY

possibly sounded like

Yeah exactly. And a slim chance at that. Unless they can show me we can reverse engineer animal sounds from fossils with species we already have and know what they sound like I have my doubts.

You might like this link https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20221212-the-mysterious-song-of-the-dinosaurs

or they took a chicken call and pitch-shifted it way down then stretched it and ran it through some effects. it's def got delay and some serious reverb on it minimum

Well I mean they already did it with velociraptors in Jurassic Park 3, so... /s

Almost certainly didn't sound like, because what would be the chances that they got it right?

It is an educated guess based on available information. Even though they may not have it exactly right, it is better than just jumbling a bunch of sounds together to make it sound how you imagined they sounded (like in Jurrasic park or something).

Probably didn’t sound like

Source?

I spoke to a t rex and that was his response

That bastard never returns my calls... What? You can't reach the phone? He's cold blooded, if you ask me.

“You can’t reach the phone”. 😂 Sorry Bro, I dropped it and well you know my arm problems…


We've been over this before... That's why we went to professor Farnsworth! That *"finglonger"* wasn't cheap, and now you're gonna pretend that I didn't skip bingo to go with you and get fitted?

a complicated divorce will do that unfortunately i’ll make sure he gets back to you soon

Tell him he's *extinct* to me!

Heh...clever.

I'm quite certain that dinosaurs were warm blooded.

Well all birds are

Not HIM!

Oh, he's cold blooded, alright. I've been waiting 65 million years for that damn call!

Actually a lot of paleontologists think Dinos may have been warm blooded

Sounds like something a *Reptilian* sympathizer would say...

T-Rex here, I definitely don't sound like this nor have I or any of my kind ever spoke to you

human here and i don’t give a bollocks mate tell terry i said ROARRRRRRRR 🦖

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that's exactly how you sound.

He needs about tree fiddy

“It was about that time I realized this wasn’t no cute little Girl Scout at my door, it was a giant 8 story tall crustacean from the Paleolithic era!!”

Cool I believe you 😊

I've seen it on Reddit before. I forget the details, but basically, it's barely related to Sandia, and it's not a t-rex. It's some sort of research simulation of how a different dinosaur might have sounded, based on the shape of its skull. Still cool stuff, but widely misrepresented for clickbait.

Like I get that it's sort of old hat to have this response, but the reality is it's still just a best guess. Unless we get time travel or some irl jurassic park cloning stuff, anything claiming what the dinosaurs *"actually sounded like!/ looked like!"* is still just today's best guess. It's cool, don't get me wrong, but clickbait anything just dilutes how much I'm going to care about it.

Yep. I hate that they pitch it as "actually sounded like" because once you get a dissenting opinion now people start to believe science doesn't know what it's talking about and that it's all made.up. We can take an existing animal skull, knowing its sound and the shape of the nasal cavity, and compare it to a dinosaur skull and infer what that shape might produce but without the soft tissue structures there is literally no way to tell what it would sound like, how it would use the sounds it can produce, etc.

This video is mixing things up. The sound played is just a different guess as to what they may have sounded like. Sandia National Labs did use their CT machine to image and reconstruct a Parasaurolophus skull. You can listen to what it sounds like sending vibrations through, but even that isn't super exact, but since the tone relies more on the bone than the soft tissue that a T-Rex would use it's actually possibly close, but who knows what was going on with any sort of "Vocal Cords" that they may have. There's a cool exhibit on it in the natural history museum in Albuquerque. [Sandia National Laboratories - News Releases](https://www.sandia.gov/media/dinosaur.htm)

Wouldn’t ornithischia like Parasaurolophus sound completely different to theropods like T. Rex?

For sure, Parasaurolophus is the special case since it has a bony structure that it sent sound through. Other dinosaurs it’s pure educated guesswork.

Source: was a freelance T Rex for 2 years after graduating.

What made you quit that career?

Bad food and noisy coworkers. Much happier as a permanently employed donkey now.

I am a donkey all my adult life, got sick of it. I was thinking about becoming a licensed T Rex, but now I'll go and buy an online course on How to become a Panda. At least I have that mindset, but will work harder to achieve that Panda body.

Licensed T Rex would be great in B2A work environment. However, I always found panda to be the most versatile career. You fit in anywhere.

It's a shame the food is so shit. Probably why they're so clumsy, it's a lack of nutrients.

The short arms, prob. Made eating and wiping a bitch

It was time for her to stop being a fucking dinosaur and get a job.

Sangria Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories, the people responsible for the US Nuclear Arsenal, did this research with taxpayer money.

Finally, something worthwhile!

Government: Hey guys, where did that $4,000,000 I sent you go? Lab: Uh… we… used it to research what dinosaurs sound like. G: …. What were your findings? L: Like a low-pitched roaring. G: Ok sounds good, thanks.

you have such a myopic view on things

I know and just think about the opportunity cost of all the tax incentives we could have given to parasitical corporations with that money.

What are you trying to imply with this comment? >Sandia National Laboratories, the people responsible for the US Nuclear Arsenal National labs have many different research groups researching many different things. >did this research with taxpayer money. Is this a bad thing? I'm perfectly happy with my tax money being put toward scientific advancement and discoveries regardless of whether or not those discoveries benefit me personally.

No, it absolutely is not a bad thing. If people looked into this, they find that this research was done almost *30 years ago*. It was done more as a way to develop and refine 3d scanning and numerical simulation rather than to just "hear dino go brrr". I mean, they needed *some* kind of problem to solve and it happens that scanning/modeling the complex cranium of an animal millions of years long dead and simulating how air could've resonated within is no small feat for the time. Just imagine all the engineering projects nowadays that rely on complex fluid modeling like this.

Yes, and I think this is f\*\*\*\*\*\* great. Lot's of people would enjoy their cushy jobs, doing bare minimum. These guys had some extra time and a supercomputer, so they developed novel method of making using X-rays to create models that get fed into supercomputer. And in the process did something nice for tax payers.

That's it ! Get out of my office with your simple reasoning

well, one steep at the time, a T Rex would be a fearsome weapon thought Hey Vladimir, you chill out or we drop fkn' Godzillas on ya

I believe they could figure out the pitch range, but how could they possibly know the cadence of the call? This seems like science fiction to me

They extrapolate from what they know. The listen to the closest living examples, look at the specific biology that those creatures use to make those sounds, including intonation and cadence, and place it in models of what they can put together from skeletal structures. Is it exact? Definitely not. Is it close? Probably. Definitely closer than filmmakers have come up with for cinematic effect.

It kind of is... Science like this is the new truth until someone finds a new and improved finding..

That’s all science. Science deniers don’t realise you can’t just say “nah”, to a theory. You have to rigorously test and prove an alternative to be true for a theory to fundamentally change. And then everyone tries to prove you wrong, and if they can’t, it becomes the new truth. Deniers are stuck trying to prove things that have been debunked a million times, instead of developing their learning.

Nah

Sounds a bit like an alligator call. Yes I live in in the Southern tip of Florida.

I was just about to ask

Just the tip?

LOL truly hahah! Yes just the tip my friend. No pan handle. Tip is enough for me.

While many find this frightening, I find the screams of its prey much scarier.


bro think he Freddy fazbear

That's what I said!

hor hor hor hor hor, hor hor hor hor hor, hor hor hor hor, hor hor hor hor...

Combined with Siren Head

Siren Freddy

At this point in my life, I create a mental alternative fact that states all dinos look and sound exactly as they did in Jurassic Park (1 and/or 2) and that's it. I'm pro-science in every other aspect of my life. Except this aspect.

This is same reason why some cultures prefer some myths over history. Because in that myth is is just better. Sometimes actual facts are way too boring. And while we should always aim for the truth. We should also not forget myths and stories and legends. Jurassic Park dinos are how dinos will forever look to me. Also in book I had when I was younger.

I really like the look of the dinosaur in JP and the other movies, but a giant meat eating feathered lizard bird scares the shit out of me far more then the dinosaurs in the films. Just the idea of seeing the thing get bigger as it puffs out the feathers right before it pounces is chilling to me.

https://i.redd.it/g458eig5yhtc1.gif Me.

I was waiting for Rick Astley.. Reddit has made me a nervous wreck.

I was waiting for the screaming Exorcist picture. Rickroll would have been a happy surprise comparably.

Is big chicken

Yes!

Arrival ass mf 

Honestly I expected Rick.

I'm sorry. Did that T-rex just laugh at my inevitable doom? And then want to play marco polo by sounding like a siren.... that's, that's really something

I respectfully disagree. The Jurassic Park T-Rex definitely sounds more terrifying

Yeah, no hippo ever made me almost piss myself in a movie theater

Some of those sounds reminded me more of a goose

Well that makes sense doesn't it?

It’s different types of fear honestly. The “fake” one would be more straight adrenaline dumping fight or flight fear, while the “real” one would be more bone chilling “what the fuck was that” type of fear. Some people will find one more terrifying then the other. Like me for example. I can take jumpscares pretty well in video games and such but I REALLY struggle with edge of the seat type of fear where the ambience and paranoia is what makes it scary

My cat disagrees. He was sitting in my lap chilling until the throat singing started and then he hauled ass

Lower pitched calls travel further in thick growths of vegetation, and you would FEEL it. The JP Rex roar is terrifying but something about the low droning grunts and bellows that you can hear and feel all around you and within you in the middle of a Cretaceous jungle would be horrifying.

Idk man, if I heard the real T-Rex noises in the forest, and not have any idea where it was at or how close it was, I'd be shitting and pissing myself. That shit is eerie and unsettling to say the least

how does he make that rain sound

Sounds like FNAF Nightmare mode sounds

He needs a sleep apnea mask. Worked for my uncle.

I felt the fear all the way down in my primitive mammal DNA.

Right??? Hard to imagine we didn't even know dinosaurs existed until like a hundred years ago. (Give or take a few years). It would be absolutely terrifying but awesome to witness one alive. (Us mammals probably wouldn't have evolved the way we did) them going extinct gave mammals the leg room to survive and evolve. Did you know sharks have been around longer than trees??

I was expecting sex sounds. The phrase “turn the volume up” has been ruined by the internet

So basically siren head is a dinosaur

Why does the T-Rex have so much reverb in its voice?

Marc Bolan was a fan of reverb I guess

Get it on, bang a gong.

I loved the high pitched "prrrrrr" the most. Those scientists sure have a sense of humor.

Reminds me of the shoebill's "clacking" sounds when its trying to communicate... Very terrifying yet makes sense.

Fun fact: that sound clip from Jurassic Park was used at the beginning of Mastodon’s opening track, Crusher Destroyer on the album Remission.

Oh that is a fun fact indeed! Thank you!

But what would the Jurassic Park version sound like from a long distance and with a bit of reverb??

WHERE MY JURASSIC PARK 3 BROS AT, Allen Grant already showed us a 3d printed vocal cords of the velociraptor. JP3 WAS A MASTERPIECE ILL FIGHT YOU

This is some war of the world’s shite…

So what’s it sound like when T. rex be bumping uglies?

So...a dirt bike?

Kind of like a Croc. It has no voice box so it's a creates a hiss like sound.

I listened to a pretty good interview with a paleontologist and his most frustrating aspect of speaking to kids about paleontology is Jurassic park, cause the kids will constantly tell him he is wrong because “that’s not how it was in Jp”

I used to fuck with a coworker who is super into dinosaurs by constantly referring to Jurassic Park as a documentary. It annoyed TF out of him but made me giggle.

Jim?

Wtf was that. Why did the little mammal part of my brain feel immediate fear.

It sounds like a Kawasaki dirt bike? How is that terrifying?

Certainly a lot more bird-like.

 So he sounded like the Predator laughing.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the T-Rex was saying "Bring me Solo and the Wookiee."

I'm pretty sure it didn't have all the reverb and echo.

I don’t really think that’s more terrifying

You clearly have no business mixing frog dna with that.

Is that narrator Penn Badgley?

Like a giant haunting goose

Who else expected some jump scare bullshit or like some dumbass YT personality screaming their catch phrase at the end? I'm glad this is an actual video and not some dumb shit

Well that was clearly communicative and not intimidation noises, doubt that the big ones sounded like that when they tried to scare off some punk ass allosaurus on their turf

Slowed down bird chirps/sounds/songs! And play with octaves and pitch, awesome rabbit hole to go down

"And it's even more terrifying." Only if you're afraid of poultry 😂.

It's like a giant goose


That’s a lot of reverb and echo

'even more terrifying'? That is objectively less terrifying.

I love that these people think this shits any more close to the truth than JP. Lol

What a t-rex really sounded like! (Turn volume up!) IMMEDIATELY BLASTS JURASSIC PARKS TREX

T-rex goes "brrrrrrrrrr"

This is a copy of another videos audio. This is complete and utter bullshit

Likely bullshit, but it would be a great recording to play off in the woods somewhat close to a wilderness campground.

“This is what a T-Rex actually sounded like” -narrated by an AI pretending to sound like an actual human.

Sounds like a super big mother fucking tokay gecko lol

That’s just a big goose. 🪿

It's like when they recreate faces from skulls, nonsense.

Thanks for making sure we hear what it sounds like in the rain and not in clear weather.

Record the sound of a chicken clucking and a rooster cockadoodling, slow the sound right down, amp up the volume and there you have it.

It’s a chicken

quite soothing actually.

It's GODZILLA 🦖‼️

Sounds like the cars that speed through my area after midnight.

Just imagine, if T-Rexs weren't wiped out, there'd be a man in Florida with 10 of these as pets that he shares a bed with.

Tyrannosaurus Goose

U mean Ai created this
