Scream as loud as you want, it can’t hear you.
Of course, that might make humans the favorite food of T. Rex (were any around) since they could enjoy their meal in “silence.” :eek:
Awful lot of assumptions in there. Interesting research, but far from conclusive. So, which Doper is gonna go back in time and scream behind a T. Rex’s back to see if it turns around and eats them? I’d go, but I’m…errrrr…been busy for the last 65 million years. Yeah.
I’ll go.
What the hell, I might find some nice specimens for my butterfly collection.
Just don’t step on any…
Heck, I’ll do it.
But I’ll keep my finger on the “Get The Fuck Out of Here” button on the time machine.
Could you take this giant rectal thermometer with you? We may as well also solve the question of whether they are warm or cold-blooded while we’re at it.
The screaming may or may not work, but that’ll definitely get the beast’s attention.
Hm, it may turn out to be the primal alien abduction story.
If I’m going, I want a pith helmet, khaki shorts, and knee socks.

And a shirt, you perv. 
Anyway, if Kent Hovind is right*, you don’t need to scream at all; for a start, it might be a vegetarian, and even if it isn’t, you can just pull its forelimbs right off.
*Monkeys are statistically far more likely to fly out of my arse.
Okay, so don’t move as its’ vision is based on movement, but scream as loud as you want. Things to remember when I go to Central American islands.
Bradbury?
I wouldn’t take these “findings” as gospel just yet. Tyrannosaurs may have been more closely realted to birds than, say, Brachiosaurus, but the fact remains that tyrannosaurs weren’t birds, so there is no guarantee that the scaling of hearing apparati works the same in birds as it did for tyrannosaurs. Archaeopteryx is separated from Tyrannosaurus by at least 65 million years, and as we all know, a lot can happen in 65 million years. Brachiosaurus is even more divergent from its feathered cousins, Sauropodomorpha having diverged from the rest of the Saurischia on the order of about 80 million years before Archaeopteryx.
Besides which, there’s quite a bit of diversity in the hearing capabilities of mammals; who’s to say there wasn’t at least some diversity among the hearing abilities of dinosaurs?
Sound to me ( I’m so punny!) like Mr. Gleich is in the T. Rex as a ‘scavenger’ camp. Scavengers presumably wouldn’t need much of a hearing range, just a good sense of smell. If however, Mr Gleich were in the ‘hunter’ camp, perhaps the ‘data’ would have indicated a wider range of hearing.
Ah, an obscure reference that I actually get!
