Scientifically Accurate Speculative Tyrannosaurus Rex Sound Design Test

HEAVY DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A PALEONTOLOGIST. SIMPLY A TEENAGER WHO HAS A PASSION FOR DINOSAURS. I MADE THIS AS A FUN SOUND DESIGN PROJECT AS WHAT I BELIEVE COULD BE MORE REALISTIC T REX NOISES. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS SCIENTIFIC PROOF/SERIOUSLY.
PLEASE no feather discourse in the comments
i believe tyrannosaurs, with their semi social behavior from fossil evidence of multiple specimens that have died at once as well as their crazy stupid massive olfactory cavities, these guys were very, very loud.
i used the (heavily edited to fit the size and range these animals used) sounds of emus, stellars sea eagles, cassowaries, broody hens and roosters, alligators, and shoebill storks, which are all some of the closest relatives to tyrannosaurs.

But how can they bellow without a larynx? That doesn’t make sense, crocodiles and alligators have a LARYNX, and that’s why they can bellow! They’re loud because they have a reptile larynx. They might’ve likely lacked a syrinx, but bud, a larynx is NEEDED to produce bellowing. Bb gators also make adorable sounds.

I don't get why some dinosaur enthusiasts are so upset about feathered birdlike dinosaurs. I can't imagine anything more awe inspiring and intimidating than a tyrannosaurus rex threat displaying like an ostrich

[@potaterjim]

Because they're being unscientific and just following a trend. They hear "dinosaurs had feathers" and immediately plaster bird feathers into a t-rex. Look at the thumbnail for this image, that t-rex has flight feathers on its arms! That makes no sense, it implies t-rex evolved from a flying bird, which is basically backwards! Firstly, we have fossilized skin impressions of the t-rex that proves it had scaly skin, and no evidence of feathers on them, which suggests that t-rex in particular didn't have feathers, or at least not much, as adults. We _do_ have direct fossil evidence of feathers on theropods like Sinosauropteryx and Yutyranus, which proves that the feathers can be preserved, and would appear in t-rex fossils. But there's also something a lot of these people forget: the "feathers" found on those dinosaurs don't resemble the feathers people are thinking of. The feathers found on those dinosaurs are short, soft and fuzzy, and much more closely resemble the fuzzy down on baby birds. Which implies that the fuzzy down on chicks is actually proto-feathers they inherited from their ancestors, and that the large, specialized, stiff feathers used for things like flight evolved later. So when someone dressed up a t-rex in velvety plumes and straight up wings, they're being very inaccurate, which is why I dislike the feather craze.

[@badluckrabbit]

@@potaterjim that's a good point that I hadn't considered. Plumage on dinosaurs can be just as inaccurate as scales when they're based on non-extinct species rather than the paleontological material currently available. Speculation is fun and can help fill in gaps until more evidence is found, but it shouldn't be substituted for evidence already known and widely accepted as conclusive.

It's ok on a lot of dinosaurs, but it's inaccurate for the t rex because it would overheat and die for its size

You used too many animals with a syrinx. They couldn't technically produce these sounds, they require too much use of a bird voice box to make nearly a 3rd of these vocalizations. A few of them are reasonably interesting though, but I don't think slowing down bird sounds will every really be accurate. This is why I make my own sounds from scratch. It helps avoid the inability to reach every technical frequency available to the animal.

@@valcan321 No offense, but that's an incredibly stupid comparison. An ostrich doesn't weigh 5 tonnes, it's a relatively small animal when compared to a T-rex. The larger an animal is, the less surface area it has relative to its overall body mass, making it harder to rid its body of excess heat. This is why the largest terrestrial mammals (e.g. elephants, rhinos, hippos) have almost no hair. Not to mention, every single T-rex skin impression that has been discovered shows it had scaly skin, with not a single sign of hair or feathers. The T-rex illustrated in this video is incredibly inaccurate as there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest this bird-like appearance.

[@valcan321]
