These are Skywalker Sound sound effects (as the name suggests) that originate from the famous 1993 film adaptation of "Jurassic Park" (although it was first previewed in that film's theatrical teaser trailer). The sound effect (which was created by Gary Rydstrom and several other sound designers) was made using the roar of an elephant, the growling of a tiger and alligator and the sound of a whale blow (which was used for its breath). A dog attacking a rope toy was used for the sounds of the T-Rex tearing a Gallimimus apart, while cut sequoias crashing to the ground became the sound of the dinosaur's footsteps.
And in a sea of spectacular sound design, the T. rex roar stands out. It is a rare instance of a sound effect being as iconic as its accompanying visuals. And the film knows it. The introduction of the T. rex (and of its spine-tingling bellow) is one of the most spectacular scenes in the film.
To accomplish the theater-shaking T. rex roar, Rydstrom was looking to create something that sounded otherworldly and massive but still believable and organic. And, most importantly: he was trying to establish an ancient, elemental enemy.

Jurassic World Dominion is about to bring a bunch of new dinosaurs to screen along with the T-Rex and its distinct sound. The T-Rex roar is one of the most recognizable aspects of Jurassic Park and the result of months of sound tests and design with different animal sounds. But which animals ended up forming the final result?
The T. rex roar could be a call for a tiger to investigate, or attack. Scientists now think that their snarls are used to stun potential prey (and even their trainers). Tigers can produce sounds in a range lower than what humans can hear. These infrasonic sounds can rattle and paralyze prey. And if you record these sounds and play them back to tigers, they may even attack the audio speaker.
The team responsible for the bellowing sound effect was led by sound designer Gary Rydstrom and he divulged the inside baseball of how his crew came up with something out of nothing for an extinct animal no one has ever heard or encountered.
After experimenting with multiple different recordings, Rydstrom and his team crafted the final roar by blending sounds from three different animals: an alligator, a tiger/lion (he's said both at separate times), and an elephant.
Nobody actually knows what dinosaurs sound like. But if you can imagine the roar of a T. Rex or the bellow of a brachiosaurus, it's probably thanks to the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park, which turns 20 this summer.
When he taped that sound, he knew he'd heard something good. "We kept trying to get it to do it again, and the handlers were saying, 'We've never heard it do that before, that's a weird sound.' " The elephant refused, so Rydstrom used the same tape for each T. Rex roar.
It is not just sound effects putting fear in our ears. Whether it is the suspense-filled theme from Jaws or the screeching violins of Psycho, composers can instil fear with just a few simple chords. By maximising non-standard harmonies, as well as changing frequencies, music can create that feeling of terror by playing with the hardwired danger signals in your brain.
Aside from what sounds went into creating the T-Rex roar (which is one of my favorite movie sounds ever - Gary Rydstrom FTW!) is how it was mixed. Whether intentional or not, and I'm guessing it was, the roaring is distorted, almost as though the dino would have overloaded the mic on the set or the mixer wouldn't have been able to adjust for it. The only thing I would have done differently to emphasize this overloading effect would be to side-chain the roar to a heavy compression on the other tracks. I've always wanted to try that on monsters, bullets, explosions, etc.
When struck by the epiphany that I was (for the most part) oblivious to cinematic sound design, the way I view films was changed. I had never realized how important the sounds of film can be, and what had always been a sternly visual experience for me quickly became so much more. Ironically, it makes perfect sense as to why it took me so long to take notice of this aspect. I believe effective sound design is achieved when all sounds in a scene are utilized seamlessly to create an on-screen world that audiences can relate to. This could include dialogue, background noises, music (both diegetic and non-diegetic), and sometimes even silence. A truly immersive experience comes from the natural inclusion of these sounds, so often the best sound designs are those that viewers are not even cognizant of.

Nearly 95% of the lizard's effects were created through computer graphics, and Tatopoulos' creature shop was twice the size of Jurassic Park's. But Godzilla isn't his old self: gone, for example, are his trademark maple-leaf dorsal spines, now a forest of thorns. All that really remains is the Godzillic roar, pitched higher than a foghorn but just as resonant, sort of like a herd of elephants on methamphetamines. And that's by default. A whole audio team was given the task of duplicating the sound but couldn't. And so Devlin and Emmerich simply picked up the beast's original "yell" from Toho's sound library.
