SCHMETTERLING
The thing I dislike about this is that Schmetterling actually sounds the most sweet out of the languages used (from the video probably being referenced), if you say it normally.
KUGELSCHREIBER!
Funny thing is that the "Schmetter" is a product when making butter. So the butterfly and Schmetterling share the same naming origin

Random thought prompted by this thread...
So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry.... were there any dinos that shared that trait?

Dude from Jurassic Park: "Clever girl..."
Raptor: "CLEVER GIRL! raptor bark sound thing CLEVER GIRL!" eats his face
bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.
so it's a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.
If only! Imagine a gigantic stegosaurus or triceratops tweeting away sweetly like a song bird.
Idk man there are some birds that don't even sound like birds.
Imagine a dinosaur sized shoebill snapping it's beak.

I think i read somewhere that velociraptors were about as smart as a dog. Convergent evolution, because both are group-hunting predators.
So are dolphins (group hunting predators). Pretty sure they rank a lot higher than a dog on the intelligence scale.

Pterodactyls arenβt dinosaurs?
They are basically the sistergroup. When the term dinosaur was coined, the most distantly related dinosaurs were taken as reference and everything and everything "between" them was defined as a dinosaur. Pterodactyls weren't known back than, that's basically the reason they are excluded
Pterosaurs aren't Dinosaurs
https://www.britannica.com/story/why-are-pterodactyls-not-dinosaurs
Oh no, that's pterrible
No, they are Ptserosaurs
The Terrible Lizards podcast got a interesting episode about it https://terriblelizards.libsyn.com/s03e02-ptserosaurs
Please do not listen to this Podcast!!! You will loose all your friends and family by dumping a metric fuckton of completely out-of-context dino-facts all over your social life.
Trust me, its not gonna be pretty. I listened to a few episodes and little plastic dinosaurs started appearing in our living room. Also my three-year-old started speaking in tongues (says my granny because apparently she doesn't now what a Micropachycephalosaurus is)
BE CAREFUL!

There are many decades between use of this font and the Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This post is a typographical disaster.
Stupid German Dinosaurs
I thought it was made quite clear neither were dinosaurs.
Maybe the people speaking in the post are daft, elderly people from the rhineland.
Rhinos are not dinosaurs either.
When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd "facts" that sticks with you, though.
Thats funny because an article about a discovered dino voice box fossil was published just last year
VERY disappointed this article didn't include an audio file
That's bird sounds slowed down, so might be a good approximation. The article does mentions bird-like vocalization. And it sounds terrifying.
Not to mention that they wouldn't have addressed them by the names we gave them after they went extinct.
Back then they pronounced the P
It still is in German! But we use K instead of C in this case, so true, if they spoke German it would be a Pterodaktylus
FlΓΌssiges Deutsch: Meinen die Bier?
For all I know, that's just two metal bands saying hi.
If you want to know what dinosaurs sound like, listen to a nearest bird. Birds are dinosaurs

I will always know pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs. Not because i know the difference, but because i have a lil nephew.

I have this song memorized. Not by choice mind you. Watch at your own risk
This is besides the fact that we kinda do. Thereβs a lot of caveats there, though, Theyβve been scanning what they think is their vocal organs, generating 3d meshes and printing them out.
Scientists were able to make one sound. Ahh!
I mean... I 3d printed the model in TPU... it kinda sounded like a squeaky fart.
Granted, I'm not a scientist, and I'm pretty sure the sound is going to be affected by material and stuff. but it sounded like a squeaky fart.

I've always imagined that they sound like angry chickens or geese.
All geese are angry geese.
I mean, technically angry chickens (and non-angry ones) and geese are dinosaurs. More than the ones mentioned in the post.
Yeah, we have chickens running around where I live, and those mfers can really sound creepy as fuck. That sort of muted muffled gutteral shriek thing they do? That's never mentioned in children's farm animals books...
We actually do have some educated guesses based on muscle reconstruction
Apparently T-Rexes sounded like Freddy Fazbear
