They're *VERY* lucky they cought that one and only unique sound from that baby elephant. The T-Rex roar is up there with the Godzilla roar as one of the most iconic monster sounds. Even the Godzilla roar was a bit of dumb luck as that was just a rusty metal door hinge played back at a lower pitch. I wonder if the baby elephant sound was played back at a lower pitch too or if that's exactly what it originally sounded like.🤔
It's amazing to think that the largest land mammal on Earth today was used to recreate the sound of one of the largest and most iconic predator that has ever walked the Earth.
@@masonjbustos actually we *can* make logical assumptions. The T-rex is one of the best documented species of dinosaur, with dozens of near-complete specimens and several partial soft-tissue casts. We know for sure it *would not* have roared, but the claim at the end of this video about no noise at all is speculation that has been mostly disproven. Tyranosaurus, when it vocalized at all, would have made a sort of bird like honk, but at such a low pitch we wouldn't be able to hear most of it.
@@darklordofsword Dude no one will ever truly know no one lived 65 million years ago this is all speculation I guarantee you no one truly knows now if we could take a time machine then we would but at this point it’s all guessing man so I will choose to stick with Jurassic Park I think it sounds menacing
Imagine if an elephant does that shriek again in a zoo, people are gonna think that's actually a T-Rex , and freaking run for their lives. Or pee/shit their pants, panicking, faint or scream their heads off. Hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just checked how long an elephant normally lives for, average life span is at least 48 years. Filming for JP1 apparently started in 1992. So that baby elephant(if hopefully still alive), is only just around 30 years old. Nice random fact =)
Shout out to that one random baby elephant for looking at sound designers desperately trying to gather noise clips for a T-Rex, going "I gotchu", and dropping the most recognisable sound in cinema history next to the Wilhelm Scream.
I may be weird because it didn’t scared me even as a child, I always was fascinated and a bit in love 😍 but I have to admit I had a few nightmares about it though 🤣💕
@@allosauruski You aren’t alone, when I was a kid I was never scared when watching the rex scenes, especially the first time I saw the film. I was just super excited and happy, my favorite dinosaur had never been so cool , my head was exploding xDDD.Only after I became an adult and understood what the animal was capable of did it start giving me nightmares. Although, even now I still have this fantasy of me and the rex from the film being best buds xD.
With modern reconstructions, the crocodile bellowing was a good call as it's both a realistic element of the creature and a great way to have it be imposing.
The guttural aspects that have that low end is the alligator and lion while the high registry "vocal" frequencies is mainly the elephant. But the whole package blended together is the magic. The same approach can be utilized in live sound mixing, studio recording. Finding a way to beef each instruments strong qualities and carefully blend the sounds as to a choir singing as opposed to a singular singer.
Thank god these vids were made because everyone just thinks that every T. rex scene with it roaring or growling is a baby elephant. In reality the baby elephant was used for the iconic end roar
It's amazing what sounds they use in tv and movies, to emulate other creatures. Obviously you can't use a real sound of a T-Rex, or even know what one sounds like. Kind of like how they use the "screech" of a hawk, for an eagle.
3:18 I just imagine the "realistic" T-Rex sounding like Tommy Wiseau: " *CHEEP* cheep cheep cheep *CHEEP* *CHEeEeEeeeEEPP* !! .... I did not hit her, I did NOTTT....Ohai Grant"
At 3:28, when the scientists said “the gurgling of its stomach,” that one made me feel befuddled. I think that they were trying to say that it would rumble like an alligator or a cassowary, but what they said didn’t made any sense. And at 3:45, that is exactly how I imagined it.
The most scariest scene was the introduction which he said was to scare people. That low growls while it lifted its head up. As a kid I couldn't sleep. Was constantly looking at windows if there was one outside. Still the best Dino moment in a movie. I saw shoebill duck in video do exactly that . It was making low pitch clicking sounds while it lifted its head up. Made a good choice with that
I remember being in kindergarten and my parents took me to see this in theaters and this scene, in the theater, at that age. Dear lord. What a once in a lifetime experience
Have you seen it again recently? Go see it at your local theater. It's back on the big screen for its 30th anniversary. I just saw it twice today. This morning at the theater and again at my house. lol. I love this movie.
@@elloowu6293 I agree even though my first time seeing this movie was in high school. I know I didn't see it in theaters when I was a kid but it's possible, I could have seen it when I was a little tyke but just don't remember. I know I had this friend in kindergarten, we went to his house to see the movie but unfortunately his VHS copy was screwed up. Also, my parents were so uptight. They didn't want to expose my sister and I to this kind of content when we were only 3 and 4 years old. I wish I had cool parents but unfortunately, I didn't. Sounds like you had a better upbringing.
Sometimes scientists say the silliest things, especially as quite recently Tyrannosaurus sound has been scientifically approximated and it is an utterly terrifying low rumbling booming sound. Not a roar, of course, but a very ominous sound similar to those produced by ratite birds and crocodilians.
I mean just remove the elephant sound and it's close to it's crocodilian relatives already. Personally I don't think it would be entirely like a Cassowary or Flightless birds of similar size and Vocalization
@@veryunusual126 the t-rex was not a bird but share alot of the same dna in birds, because birds are dinosaurs they can sound alot like what the t-rex could have sounded like, such as sounds the cassowary makes
@@YourHuckleberry99 you're right, this is the most accurate to what the t-rex could have sounded like ruclips.net/video/HD8AIlm97lA/видео.html and the sauropods probably sounded alot like this ruclips.net/video/E_yKoUgUbio/видео.html despite the video being made for trex imo it sounds alot like what the sauropods sounded like
Oh wow! That's amazing! Had no idea a baby elephant can sound like that when it screams. Quite intimidating but scary good and perfect for the roar of the T-Rex!
The final mix sounds beefier than the composite mix, so I'm assuming he added some EQ and/or pitch-shifting but he doesn't mention anything. So awesome, though
I’m pretty sure that Rydstrom played each layer individually in his studio where the interview presumably took place; with the sound playing over his speakers and being picked up by the same mic recording his voice. You can hear a subtle delay to them that isn’t in the “final mix;” which is just the audio straight from the film.
You know it's Spielberg if you feel anxiety and tension without actually seeing the character. You also know it's Spielberg if the movie has a strong human element/subplot.
3:27 T-Rex wouldn't roar because it was bird-like? Apparently he never heard roosters' sounds. They literally roar with a high pitched sound because they're small.
We heard parrots scream. Imagine how deep a 7 ton bird sound would be. Sure we may not call it a "roar" because it's not a mammal but besides that nothing changes
I just began a new job working with pigs, the Sows (female pigs who have given birth) get territorial in their dens and when they are being picked on they make a t rex like sound it's amazing how they can change their vocals, came here cause the screaming reminded me of a t rex hehe
It would've been nice if they had footage of recording the baby elephant making that noise. Same goes for the dolphins they recorded for the raptor screams
I am pretty sure that the T.rex would have made a rumbling low-frequency noise, as a way to communicate its presence to other rexes. It would have been perfectly capable of making a sound like that.
Not the Roar, but definitely the Crocodile noises. If I were to remake the roar with Accuracy in mind, I would pull more from Crocodilians, maybe from Emus, Ostriches, and Cassowaries as well.
I have no idea where I came across this misconception, but it's stuck with me for years. I'm always surprised that there isn't a 'train' sound in the mix, be it a subway car, the brakes on a locomotive, or the rush of air when a train passes. I don't know where I first heard that or why it still sticks with me, but maybe it's a different scene or a different dinosaur altogether (raptors, maybe?).

One of the best animal sounds! 👍
That baby elephant sound sounds like it takes up most of what made the t-rex sound. that's insane.
That was the best roar I’ve ever heard.

Hearing the baby elephant just by itself still makes me think of a T.Rex
It's THAT iconic
I hope that baby elephant is still alive to this day, what a legend LOL
Baby elephant shoulda got a raise smh. It created one of the most iconic sounds in cinema.
Considering that elephants life for 60-70 years it most likely is!
@@quaza8515 nice
meanwhile that tiger and crocodile:sad croco and tiger noises
The baby elephant probably just grew up as if it didn’t just make one of the most iconic sounds of all time
2:01 the sound of the cables snapping and twisting is equally as iconic to me as the T-Rex, such a great sound mix for the scene
Baby elephant carried 🤣
It's amazing to think that the largest land mammal on Earth today was used to recreate the sound of one of the largest and most iconic predator that has ever walked the Earth.

I have never hear a baby elephant sound so my mine tricks it into thinking it’s a roar 😂
Honestly? I would be kind of excited. "Is this the way I go? Ok, death by T Rex is iconic. Put it in my gravestone"

That baby elephant scream is literally just the roar we all know and love
imagine hearing a baby elephant scream in real life without knowing it’s the sound they used for the rex
This scene was just so incredible and the sound effects are immortal.
I hope that baby elephant is getting residuals for the shriek that terrified an entire generation of children 😂
Children? No. Generations of humans of ALL TIME.

There’s literally no edit with the baby elephant sound! It is the one sound!! Incredible.
1:41 i can't believe that a cute baby elephant made that horrifying but badass scream 😱 i hope that little movie star is still alive to this day
They live for 60/70 years I think
That baby éléphant never knew it, but he made history.

I'm studying to be a sound technician, and im fidint the sound design path really interesting.
Actually one of the most interesting video have ever seen on RUclips according to the huge smile on my face !!!
I really like old movies and tech behind them, they were something else.
The alligator breathing is actually what the Rex sounded like. It had low growl that was almost like a deep hissing whisper. That is terrifying.
Wouldn't it be grand if these individual sound clips were made available? I'd imagine they'd be pricey as hell.
