Bah! I refuse to accept it. Read this bit, wherein they admit that they might just as well have got a glove puppet to blow into a kazoo:
"The resulting sound probably approximates the noises that the dinosaur crest could produce fairly well. But it is hard to say for certain. The researchers did have to reconstruct some missing dinosaur parts, such as the beak and nostrils, and the soft tissues of the head and throat that were not fossilized--all of which may have altered the overall sound quality. In addition, it is not known whether the Parasaurolophus had vocal cords, and so the researchers simulated sounds passing through vocal cords and sounds that had not. " |
