This is besides the fact that we kinda do. There’s a lot of caveats there, though, They’ve 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.

The last thing you hear before becoming one

naw. The mummy vocal chords are creepy.

Dino vocal...er... do they even have vocal chords?... My nephew was in a dinosaur phase. (still is, to be honest. there's 3 phases I never grew out of, if I'm any indication- dinosaurs, jumping-in-mud-puddles and robots. despite my SiL's protests... I think I'm a great influence.)

Playing that for my niece, just as soon as they come over (probably this weekend.)

You know that scene in Serenity (aka firefly,)? I may resemble that.
