An ongoing study utilizing the most recent scientific data on mammalian/reptilian vocalizations. Sounds are produced by myself and digitally workshopped from modern mammals and reptiles. Using modulated proportions, one can attempt to recreate the flow of sound, frequency, and volume of each animal. Much study is required for each particular species, and often several phases are trashed due to general unlikelihood. The final results are based on acute representations of what sounds would be most comfortable and base-line for each animal.

Method: Using a similar, but altered model to Julia Clarke's Mesozoic Tyrannosaurus Rex vocal rendition, which included: combining the booming call of the Eurasian bittern with the growling vocalizations of the Chinese crocodile, and then scaling it up to T-rex’s estimated size (about 12 meters or 40 feet long), where they got was an ominous low rumble.

It's hauntingly beautiful how much the steppe mammoth sounds like certain Northern Eurasian music/horns. If that is what they indeed sounded like, I wonder if it's possible that our ancestors originally heard the mammoths and went to recreate it- and those recreations survived into the modern day, unlike the species they were inspired by.

One of the best so far, I swear if a studio doesn't hire you for sound effects it'll be one of the biggest missed opportunities of the century. As a megafauna enjoyer, I am hoping that one day genetic research advances enough for us to make some of these species re-evolve, like all mammoth species or the glyptodon (kinda wishful thinking on that one haha). Keep it up man, I hope you can continue your research. ¡Siempre adelante!
This truly is unlike any other content on KZread and deserves more recognition. I also saw you revealed your method in the description, so thank you for that! I’m hoping you feel better soon.

Studio, with all you magnificent and fantastic work I still don't understand why your vocalization studies aren't already in a museum! Keep it up man!
Since these animals are a bit more close to us than the dinosaurs, it’s possible they sounded like some of their alive cousins, but bit of alter distinct differences of sounds they make

Dude, these animals went extinct only some tens of thousands of years ago. Not at all comparable to how long the non-avian dinosaurs are gone. 10.000 years may seem like a long time, but it's actually just the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms. The world's ecosystems are still out of balance because of the human-induced megafauna die-off starting then and continuing to the present day. And of course they would have sounded like their remaining relatives. In order to reconstruct the sounds of wholly rhinos, your best hint is the sounds the sumatran rhino produces. For mammoths, listen to Asian elephants. Short-faced bear? Spectacled bear. And be glad they are still with us, because judging by how we keep destroying the planet, they won't be for long.
This channel is a hidden gem. I've always been a creature sound design die hard, since I was a kid. Thank you for your effort and scientific accuracy, really.

You would not imagine the tremendous effort it took to find a good one. Nearly 5 1/2 hours of searching then editing out the background.
It really pleases me that some of these reconstructions due feel like their modern counterparts, yet, still feel like something that hasn't been heard before. The Steppe Mammoth one? Oh man, felt like hearing a ghost. I love it.
The Steppe Mammoth was probably my favorite sound from the beginning. That sounds of the steppe mammoth was awesome!
This video series single handedly threw me back into a huge prehistoric-interest phase. The times before modern humans began recording history is so extremely fascinating to me and I hope one day, somehow in life or afterward, we can have real answers as to what life was like so far back in time!!
I love all your videos as one who studies paleontology and paleoanthropology. This sounds always give me such overwhelming wonder of the very creatures I so often am researching. It makes them so tangible to me. Just closing your eyes and listening to this in a silent space makes you feel like these animals are literally surrounding you. Amazing work, and I truly wish the best for you, your health, and your recovery.
The terror bird actually made me freeze. I don't often feel true horror, but that bird did it for me. Living up to its name.
WOW… Purussaurus Brasiliensis was amazing! I just love that crocodilian. He’s one of the few animals that has an bite stronger than the T-Rex. Simply the biggest crocodilian that ever lived in Earth.

Absolutely stunning video. The mammoths first vocalization was so different and unlike any elephant noise I’ve ever heard, and yet it felt so similar too. I loved that each creature wasn’t a carbon copy of a real life counterpart but slightly distorted, they were actual sounds that the animal could logically make based on our understanding. If I could suggest anything I would love a description of the vocalizations, like a T.Rex’s mating call, or a terror bird threatening call

If you keep doing these cenozoic noises, i would love to hear your interpretation of the Thylacine and Thylacoleo sounds! i always Imagined Thylacoleo in particular sounding like a deeper tasmanian devil.
The Steppe Mammoth kind of sounds like a giant sauropod or hadrosaur dinosaur. Many of these sounds kind of remind me of the roars from Jurassic Park.
I think Smilodon could have roared too, not just growled, based on the hyoid bone. Also Im guessing you used some spectacled bear for the short-faced bear.
These were haunting and beautiful and seemed highly realistic. It’s incredible how much this adds to the imagery of that time period. Thank you so much for spending the time to do this!

It's so strange to think that most of these animals died out not that long ago. Sabretoothed cats died out in about 7,900 BC... That's not long ago at all if you think about it. And woolly mammoths (not steppe mammoths) were alive after the pyramids were built.

Ok, dinosaurs are cool, we all like our dinosaurs, but they are basically dragons with glimpses of modern birds. They have this "fantastical" feeling, it's hard to imagine them in the modern world, there's a lot of historical distance between them and us The prehistoric animals though are f-d up. They evoke a feeling sort of like uncanny valley. Like they are almost modern, but somehow not. Pre-alfa of modern animals. Dog-sized prehistoric horses with fingers mess with my head the most. This is such a fascinating era of evolution
I never thought you would cover the Cenozoic era. How do you make those sounds by the way? Would be interesting to know.

The only bit of criticism is the megalania sounds too much a heavy crocodile like you did in last videos with allosaurus. I believe it probably sounds more like low pitched of the alive relatives the lace monitor and a Komodo dragon. But overall good video
