T rex probably didnt roar like movies scientists say it used low resonant calls

Fossils point to quiet, low frequency resonances

Movies give T rex a roaring soundtrack, but scientists argue that fossil clues don’t match loud calls.

  • T rex likely used low-frequency resonant sounds
  • Bird and crocodile comparisons guide vocalization guesses
  • The true T rex sound remains unconfirmed
