| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

It is certainly too colourful if you compare it to monotone drab grey. Which is what some people think all dinosaurs looked like...
That doesn't mean that they'd be devoid of vocalisations though (well, technically, but still). Crocodilian vocalisations are pretty interesting (adult alligator bellow here, juvenile alligator call here and baby crocodile here). From the article you posted to;
That makes me wonder if any ornithodires other than Enantiornithes potentially had some sort of vaguely similar vocal apparatus. The relationship between birds and other theropods might make it unlikely, but forcing an avian norm on a pterosaur, for example, makes me feel a tad uneasy. Nevertheless, the lack of vocal apparatus does not prevent the organism from making suitably impressive noises; I can imagine a hiss-like sound to be quite imposing, especially if eminating from a large organism.

| A hard mathematical figure provides a sort of enlightenment to one's understanding of an idea that is never matched by mere guesswork. | |

Or maybe a "red-tailed hawk screech." Like the sound they always give to Bald Eagles in the movies.

I do art sometimes. "if you want green eat a salad" Projects: Amammalia: A strange place where mammals didn't make it and the land is, once again, dominated by archosaurs. Oceanus: An endless sea dotted with islands, reefs, and black holes. Literally endless, literal black holes. ❤️❤️~I'm not a boy~❤️❤️ | |

Thing you have to remember about Jurassic park though, is that it's 17 years old now. It was pretty spot on for when it was made, excluding the misnamed Deinonychus. |
