The Sounds of Dinosaurs: Not What You Might Expect

Scientists are learning new things about how dinosaurs sounded. Many people think dinosaurs roared loudly, like in movies. But this may not be true.

Researchers study dinosaur bones to learn about their sounds. They found that dinosaurs probably made low rumbles and soft noises. These sounds were more like birds cooing than lions roaring.

Big dinosaurs likely made very low sounds that humans might not even hear. Small dinosaurs may have made higher sounds, like chirps. Baby dinosaurs might have made sounds to call their parents, just like baby birds do today.

So, the next time you watch a movie with roaring dinosaurs, remember that real dinosaurs probably sounded very different!
