Now imagine going back in time, hearing this dinosaur symphony.
music to the ears
Dino Gojira Guy
Music to the ears indeed.
If dinosaurs really sounded like THAT, then SIGN ME THE F UP FOR THE TIME TRAVELING MACHINE
Yummyjuice16 is back Imagine if they played the Jurassic Park theme
I like to think if u went back in time to the cretaceous dinosaurs would sound like brass instruments kinda, so basically their calls would form into the Jurassic Park theme.
They sound like land whales. Imagine a whole herd of them numbering in the hundreds, all of them trumpeting simultaneously...wooooooh
well thats what sauropods are 4!
Ien HenzerX It would be so amazing. What an alien world it must have been.
now imagine a bunch of Crash Bandicoots.........
now thats woah.
more like in the hundreds of thousands and millions, they were basically the equivalent of the buffalo during the late cretaceous period when the US was divided by the great inland ocean. They've found huge nesting sites for them all across the mid west

So harrowing and creepy. You would never think an actual animal would make a noise like this
The Wolf of Comedy you're right.
Ever heard the noise a charging/angry elephant makes?
It's weird and creepy but that's how they were made lol
Look up elephant growls and rumbles as well as some birds like the cassowary, shoebill stork, and emu.
many birds [dinosaurs] today make very strange noises, look some up. look up the noise shoebill make, and they look like some extinct theropoda.
alligators also make very strange growls.
I can't get over how haunting this is... I feel as if I walked through a tear in space and time and heard something that a human was never meant to hear. Almost like I'm experiencing something forbidden...
I hope this doesn't attract any ghost dinosaurs...
wow your comment is "chilling" mate xD
+Mega Fragger what sound Tyrannosaurus rex made
Joao Vitor Urban MOOO.
Thoranzalar Vhazen so true
Thoranzalar Vhazen Beautiful Song Sound like a elephant and mammoth or ship!
0:31 my chair when i leave during an exam
I remember going to the museum as a child and absolutely favoring the Parasaurolophus display, you could even press a small button that would play this exact sound. I was fascinated by their way of communicating and they easily became my favorite dinosaur out of them all. This video brought back so much nostalgia-
The Natural History Museum in Albuquerque, NM? I'd go there all the time as a kid. The room the button was in made it echo so loudly.
Holy, I remember that too @metarcee2483
Just went there today!! And it's true. @@metarcee2483
I love this dinosaur for no reason
@@metarcee2483 yes!!! I also loved the dinosaur nest exhibit, volcano exhibit, (and of course, the gift shop xD) I'm so surprised somebody else knows what I'm talking about! childhood me could LIVE at the museum if she could
"I give you, the resonating chamber of a velocirap---wait, dammit! Wrong dinosaur."
Leave it at 69!
they all had resonating chambers it was what animals had before a voicebox
It was a reference to Jurassic Park 3
Here are my theoretical translations for those honks.
1. Hello, welcome.
2. Hi.
3. I love you. I love you.
I mean, a _Velociraptor_ probably _would_ skedaddle after hearing that. Hadrosaurs would NOT have taken kindly to dromaeosaurs in their presence.
Startled my cat. Ancient mammalian terror memory? Discuss.
Play a vuvuzela or something and see if the same happens. (Honestly it makes no sense it would be a kind of memory, even though it is a cool idea)
@SilverRhinoBeet Dude thats not how it works, the ancestors of cats aren't sabertooth cats, and sabertooth cats and dinosaurs never lived together
@Dakka Dakka Dude I was answering a comment that was deleted. im aware of that.
It gives me goosebumps. Try and play it to other mammals. If many of them react in a similar way it probably is.
Edit: I played to a dog and some sheeps. The tilted his head like they do when their hear something unfamiliar and the sheeps just ran away. I think it wasn't loud enough with the dog, because it didn't have a box at that time.
No, sometimes phobias and trauma can have evolutionary implications (like how big cats naturally scare humans, babies don't need to be taught to know predators are predators). But, animals do not retain such adaptations for this long. Vestigial adaptations would not last 66+ million years especially if easily forgotten.
it's oddly eerie...
Sounds like war of the worlds
They even played a Tritone (The Devil's interval) twice towards the end of the recording lol
Well their calls were also used to scare away large predators that could easily ambush them
Sorta like a bassoon...
The 7 trumpets be like:
This gave me chills... It’s an eerie sound, like something from a horror movie
Awesome
Definitely unexplored territory for movies. Would be great to see/hear it more from Hollywood.
Unfortunately, Hollywood is less interested in reality and more in showmanship. I would love to see something produced that is in keeping with the latest knowledge that we possess.
Dont insult dinosaurs like that, fuck horror movies
It is rather eerie though, it reminds me of that phenomenon of “strange trumpet noises.” that people have been hearing.
It sounds like it was designed to scare off predators by making it sound much larger and threatening than it actually was.
I can imagine a bunch of velociraptors hearing that sound and be like "Fuck this."
Velociraptors are from a different age and continent. So they never met. It probably did meet Saurornitholestes though. A cousin to Velociraptors and of similar size.
LordTrilobite
well at least he was right about the Tyrannosaur.
+LordTrilobite Or Dakotaraptors.
Although ironically they were already pretty huge and scary. But the bellowing certainly helped I'm sure
Parasaurs were actually quite large, almost as big as the Trex :P
I don't know why, but the first and last sounds you hear somehow can transport you to that time and make you feel how wide and empty the land was when Dinosaurs roamed.
Raun Carswell It's the drugs.
dynelol No, it is something called "imagination".
Carolina Gonçalves Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Raun Carswell It does give a feeling of dread for some reason but when dinosaurs roamed the land it was not empty and desolated, methinks you've seen too much old dinosaur movies tha take place in deserts.
HoveringAboveMyself I should have explained that better. I mean like not so crowded with say car horns, people chattering and music etc. Their roars and the like had the chance to go further and echo because there weren't any buildings in the way or anything like acoustic foam lol. I also meant after the comet. Sorry for not explaining that right.
You could just imagine walking through a giant timber forest hearing these noises, then you look and see a whole bunch of these things walking around.
It's very intresting. Certainly different from modern animals, but I guess we don't really have animals that make noises by blowing air through a tube at the back of their skull any more. In a weird way, it reminds me of the calls that cows make during the night on a pasture. It's a really haunting, deep, long-reaching noise that echoes over long distances. Definitely intresting. I'm trying to imagine what it must have been in a prehistoric landscape, with calls like that and who know what else echoing all around.
***** You get the point :U
I really need to get a life, but I just had to translate a part of your phrase into latin to get the actual name of your new dinosaur. which would be Magnum (Big) Fututor (Fucker - couldn't find a word for fucking in that sense) Capra (goat) and rem (thing) So we end up with (roughly) "Magnumfututordinocapraremasaurus". Cool. :-)
Let the natural earth history fanfiction commence :U
"Hear that? That honking sound? They're coming our way - a herd of Magnumfututordinocapraremsaur..."
We do, actually. That is what happens when you blow your nose.
If I went back in time to the dinosaur age, and was just walking through the forest, then I heard this sound... I would probably shit my pants.
It's fake ahh this is a sound from a broken violin in germany
TunelessPizza67 Lol It's supposed to simulate what it would actually sound like
TunelessPizza67 Lol since when? how would you even know the location of this supposed broken violin
+5raptorboy1 I think I agree. Just walkin in the forest then you hear this loud as hell noise that sounds like a super deep fog horn. I'd be like, "Oh shit! Gotta hide."
+5raptorboy1 I would you be walking in the forest in the first place? In fact, if I was sent back to the time of the dinosaurs, I would've already shit my pants midway!
Sounds like a movie trailer.
"WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE"
*horror movie villain pops out from behind actor*
*(ANNOYING REVERBERATION INTENSIFIES.)*
Something about this makes me kinda scared, but at the same time, it intrigues. me
That ancient part of us that responds to the unfamiliar wirh fear
I remember when I was a kid and in the forest room at the Albuquerque museum of natural history, they would play this on the loudspeaker on a loop when you would press a button
ALSO, for anyone saying they can’t imagine any animals today making such a unique sound as this, look up an elk bugle. Absolutely amazing and almost sound like they’re playing some sort of wind instrument!
Oh my God I remember that button too that shit used to creep me out but now it just gives me a nostalgia blast
That button is the coolest.
Same, and I still love the sound to this day.
Ah shit I remember that too I went there to
The reason why the bass is so heavy in the dinosaur call, is because in the extremely forested environment that the dinosaurs lived in, bass notes were the only sounds that could travel for far distances!
That's not true. It's heavy in bass because it's a really large animal. However I'm sure it was helpful to be able to communicate over long distances. But you just pulled this sentence out of your ass. And not all dinosaurs lived in forests.
@@GustafUNL I'd like to believe the Parasaurolophus all used this unique noise to scare off predators
@@david_cool427YT I'm sure it did have a noise in it's arsenal that it used to threaten other animals.
I've come back to this video after quite a few years and, my god, this is still one of the eeriest yet prettiest sounds I have ever heard.
What about now
@@IcedCub I'd say this still holds up. It's hauntingly beautiful; I love it.
@@dannodontsurf awesome
This is definitely going in a death metal album intro someday.
Someone call Corpsegrinder
+Julian Conley I think you mean doom or drone
I mean....this Bass line is awesome 😂
I rather imagine it in a black metal album. Like the old Burzum
*_Yep_*
0:27 That is probably the most haunting sound I've heard from any animal
It gives the impression of something coming closer and closer...
Amazing. I'm actually hearing the calls of a dinosaur.
this brings me so much happiness
Amazing how someone went back in time with a microphone just so we could hear what these beautiful creatures sounded like. What a hero!
This really doesn’t work in this context
Risked his life getting that close to them too!
that crest was huge and hollow, making it a perfect resonation chamber, meaning it likely would have been extremely loud when it wanted to be
Sounds like a damned foghorn off a tugboat!
theres a reason, just like a foghorn, low sounds carry much further then high pitched sounds, elephants use this too, sounds so low we can't hear them, but with special devices we can still measure it miles or kilometers away
If i were a parasaurolophus i'd toot as loud as i can near a sleeping dinosaur and run for my life.
That would be a nice survival strategy. Constantly disturbing predators' sleep, so they never rest. They will then be exhausted and weak. 'Cuz ya know, there were no coffee back in Cretaceous.
but what about velociraptor
they hunt in packs
Oshawott Master Not sure if velociraptor lived where and when parasaurolophus lived.
oh
they hunt in packs
This exact sound is played at the Museum in my town when you walk through an area. You can look down over railing and see a model of one of these creatures taking care of their young. You walk a little past that and you see and iPad that allows you to press a button. When you press that button it plays this exact sound file. For that reason this strikes a whole bunch of cords in my brain, most of them being nostalgia and eeriness
This reminds me of the ambient noise in Silent Hill, given that it vaguely sounds like metal-on-metal industrial scraping.
Chowdaire akira yamaoka art genius.
Reminds me of a Reaper hunting your soul while alone in a foggy forest
I am a beginner saxaphone player, but I also like researching about prehistoric animals. It really feels like the saxaphone copied Parasaurolophus' sound, especially when the sound warbles and somewhat vibrates, there are things in music called multiphonics, when you play two notes at the same time, the warbling of the dinosaur sounds very close to a saxaphone's multiphonic!
You could be on to something. Would make for an interesting study, comparing the sounds of each.
"That is no theropod horn.."
This sounds a lot like the horn sound at the end of every Godzilla 2014 trailer.
That's not a horn sound, that's Godzilla's roar.
Next life I want to be Parasaurolophus
you can't their extinct. your soul will not find an extinct host.
yes thats true
unless we brought them back ;)
rage lion UNLESS I ASK THE COUNCIL TO GO BACK IN TIME AND BECOME ONE M8 YOU CAN'T DESTROY MY DREAMS

Welllll some rebirth beliefs completely disregard the concept of time, stating that it’s a concept and that the past is still being created and the future’s happening at the same time as the present and it’s all just a sort of ‘simulation’ but not quite... It could be a wheel of rebirth and everything is constantly changed and reshaped by new rebirths as nothing is permanent.
Oh my god I need to shut up I’m being annoying
BUT I JUST WANNA BE A PARASAUR
this audio freaked the piss out of my cat.
Lol
greydragoness same with my dog
Welp, time to find the cat
PTSD of a time long gone by when they were the size of rats and the dinosaurs reigned supreme.
All Star Pterosaur
People will shit on this idea and it may not be true but it’s still intriguing; we are descended from creatures that were the bottom of the barrel. Our ancestors lived in a time of titans, monsters so large and terrifying that the fear they inspired echoes throughout our DNA. The titans are gone but their ghosts live on in us.
Sounds alien
That is so fucking cool.
*_0:30_**_ That would be terrifying and at the same time fascinating. That sounds almost surreal. Like it shouldn't be heard. So damn cool._*
If dinosaurs still existed to this day, could you imagine being lost in a dense forest with tall thin trees, a lot of dry leaves on the ground, thick fog and you hear this? I love it so much.
I feel like more pieces of media should use these sounds.
These are beautiful and eerie. Makes me wonder what other kinds of creepy sounds dinosaurs would make.
Absolutely. Wish we had more studies like this.
Behold, the ancient boat!
I literally laughed out loud! xD
the ancient 8 wheeler truck
0:40
Imagine you live in a world were these sounds are part of the natural background noises...
Hurm. Am I the only one thinking this would be great in an orchestra? I guess it would be in the horn section, but dang if it dosent sound like something from the strings section. Maybe put it between the two.
This just makes me imagine a bunch of Parasaurolophus in bow ties in an orchestra.
yeah this is like a french horn
@@Somebronysomewhere WHOOOOOOOMP!
I can imagine it calling to it's herd.
Please do a 10 hour of this repeating please
That's not a dinosaur, that's a Reaper!
Jim my good man you sir win the internet
What?
Edit: i think it is a subnautica reference
@@ParasaurolophusEwan Did subnautica exist 8 years ago? Hell, I am so old...
Now imagine a herd of hundreds doing that!!
0:22
You're welcome.
Oh but could you imagine the possible diversity in sound we could get based on intonation, glottal movement, airstopping... whys it gotta be one full horn blow? Imagined a patterned sequence of bursts of air like a bird tweeting. Or a low rumble meant to scare awar predators. God I wish I couldve seen a parasaurolophus in action, they're my all time favorite dinosaur
The theory is that it shout that at the trex bcs it had rlly sensitive ears
People: herbivores aren’t scary
Herbivores:
This sounds exactly like how I think music would sound by this time.
Damn, like a big ol' ship. So majestic.
Imagine hearing this on a foggy night.
Everybody gangsta till you hear a boat horn in the cretaceous.
but seriously this sound is majorly haunting, and the fact that a real animal made this noise makes it all the more disturbing...
Imagine a herd of these things
Oh no
Imagine going back to dinosaur times and hearing these fucking sounds
I'd shit my pants so hard
Scariest thing I've heard in my entire life.
+prolo Did you hear the Rex one yet?
Yeah, it's really relaxing tbh. This one is just straight up scary...
imagine living around back than, it’s so interesting to think and so scary seeing so many different creatures
Bro really say:🚢🚢🚢
Considering parasaurlophus had excellent hearing, other herbivores might have stayed close to them for the benefit of them hearing approaching predators from far away. Just imagine being a relaxed herbivore, munching on vegetation when you hear a warning call that sounds like groaning metal, and that haunting sound means danger is coming.
So these 20 ft. reptiles sounded like "War of the Worlds" tripods? That would have been... Amusing. o_o
I imagine someone walking around at night, and hearing the first sound nearby. They turn that way and see a parasaurolophus shadow. Then, after the second use of the first sound, the para turn to look straight at them, and then the fog horns give sound.
Dear god that would be scary af. I'd at bare minimum get a heart attack, and would probably start running away as fast as possible.
That last bit sounds so musical. After it it stops in the video, my imagination takes the lead and the song keeps going.
Absolutely love this study and I really wish I could hear what sounds the real animal could make with whatever flesh the animal had
Imagine how it could sound if there was muscles in there imagine how much precise control they could have had over their calls
imagine hearing this irl i would be scared
Oh when the Orcs... Oh when the Orcs... Oh when the Orcs are marching in....
I bet sounds back ten must have been spooky. specially at night.
I'd piss myself if i ever heard this at night
This is possibly the most beautiful sound made by an animal I ever heard! 🥺
Sounds more terrifying than beautiful
I agree, most people say it’s creepy but I think it’s a beautiful sound.
It sounds like a shofar (ram horn) and the feels is extraordinary..
Reminds me of those unexplained sounds people hear from the sky and now I’m really creeped out
That's exactly what I thought!
So in a few words, the Parasaurolophus is the elk of its time.
This call sounds scarier than the low grunts of a T. rex.
Admittedly, might sound a bit different with all the flesh added in in real life...but its amazing that we were able to recreate the base sounds!
This reminds me of the music in the Myst series, I don't know why.
I was thinking that as well
+Nicolas Natalini Same here. Apparently Myst has a parasaur chorus. :P
This makes me think," The dinosaurs were truly amazing." Think, you're walking in the woods and hear this. It is so mysterious and wonderful in the same ways. There is no way that a person on earth can think, actually think, not say, that dinosaurs are not the most mysterious, wonderful creatures to ever walk the earth (now that i think of it, i have to say it) next to women.
*_Yes_*
*_1. Dinosaurs_*
*_2. Women_*
lmaoo
Better than any sound effects films that come in, I wish with all my heart that I could travel back in time and experience the real life noises they made for myself
Look up Chickenosaurus or check out some of my other vids on cloning dinosaurs. Won't need to travel back, but is going to take some work.
*_This just takes my curiousity about dinosaurs to another level_*
I like to think all dinosaur sounded like bras instruments and so you would go back in time and just here the Jurassic Park sound track constantly. And these sound so haunting, but primordial and majestic at the same time. It's such a weird feeling listening to such long extinct creatures. It honestly reminds me of the tripods from the war of the worlds, frikin terrifying.
Very beautiful video
The only dinosaur sound we know and it sounds like a truck/cargo ship horn
As scary as this sounds, what is more terrifying is that it is theorized it may be possible that they could make sounds far above 80 hertz and make noises that could deafen, disorient, and even perhaps paralyze attackers. Also most large carnivores couldn't catch one since they could run 25 miles per hour.
That's true for a lot of animals (I mean outspeeding the predators), that's why predators always look for the young, the elderly and the weak. Natural selection.
Now this would make a good horror game. Imagine you're in a dark, foggy forest and you hear these noises.
To think that an animal could've sounded like this in the past is amazing.
That is actually kinda creepy, like the way it sounds is so chilling. Imagine hearing this sound somewhere in a remote jungle, you'd be fucked. Tbh, I wonder what a T-Rex would sound like.
Animals now: tweet tweet ahha
Animals then: WOMMMMMDDFFFF
The Parasaurolophus is a herbivore which means it's a nice and good dinosaur but it's sounds that make other Parasaurolophus communicate is so eerie and louder
Do you think that Rhinoceros and Buffalos are sweet and innocent animals just because they are herbivores?
I can imagine these animals traveling in huge herds make this sing song noise, although creepy, infact mostly beautiful
The babies listening: mom im scared
Absolutely incredible. Never thought I'd hear that.
The cool thing is that these sounds, if hundreds or thousands of these guys vocalized at once, it would be enough force to both disorient and possibly even knock over even Trex
That struck more fear in me than almost anything in my entire life. If I heard that, id freeze and go away, if that's the purpose, its does an amazing job
Fun fact: This is the only dinosaur we know sounded like
This is so messed up. I used to have nightmares about undead dinosaurs covered in oil, who were able to bend space. They sounded exactly like this....
my friend, you actually went back in time for real
I wish I could accurately describe the sensation of hearing this. It's almost... nostalgic. Like something I've heard before, yet, prior to this video, I hadn't known that sound, I think. Maybe it was when I visited a Dinosaur park, or something.
Imagine being in a dense forest and you suddenly feel the ground shaking and hear this. You wouldn't be in really any danger but still it would be terrifying.
Still have to be careful you don't get trampled!
CMI videos there’s evidence that you could die from the sound waves produced by a parasaurolophus herd lol, the bass from just one would probably make your teeth chatter
Imagine going back in time to the prehistoric era and the first thing you hear is a boat horn.
sounds like a fucking alien tripod. scary as hell.
I think they have these sounds at the L.A. Natural History Museum. I remember playing sounds on some kind of touch screen thing in the dinosaur area of the museum. Really like these.
Is this an extinct species of dinosaur or my neighbor's car?...
There were huge herds of hadrosaurs like this in North America at the time, imagine hearing a 100,000 dinosaurs calling out like this
