You’d feel it more than hear it \u2013 a deep, visceral throb, emerging from somewhere beyond the thick foliage. Like the rumble of a foghorn, it would thrum in your ribcage and bristle the hairs on your neck. In the dense forests of the Cretaceous period, it would have been terrifying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We have few clues for what noises dinosaurs might have made while they ruled the Earth before being killed off 66 million years ago<\/a>. The remarkable stony remains uncovered by palaeontologists offer evidence of the physical prowess of these creatures, but not a great deal about how they interacted and communicated. Sound doesn’t fossilise, of course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From what we know about animal <\/a>behaviour<\/a>, however, dinosaurs were almost certainly not silent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Now with the help of new, rare fossils and advanced analysis techniques, scientists are starting to piece together some of the clues about how dinosaurs might have sounded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
