The funny part about this is…

We do know what some of them sounded like. (Well I forget which ones so, maybe they’re not Dino’s, but uh, yeah.) (also, big “maybe” attached. They took 3d scans of what they think are the vocal organs and ran air through a 3d printed version.)

I think there was also something about taking modern bird sounds and pitching the accordingly to body size and the fossilized vocal structures? Too lazy to look it up right now though, might as well have dreamt it.

They definitely 3d printed their larynx- I know this because they published the model and I printed it in TPU.

It sounded like a squeaky fart. (But I’m guessing TPU is nothing like the appropriate material.)
