- "I give you the resonation chamber of a Velociraptor."
- —Billy Brennan(src)
The Velociraptor Resonation Chamber Prototype was a model of the resonation chamber located in the skull of Velociraptor that allowed them to make vocalizations.
Story[]
The prototype was first created by Billy Brennan using a rapid prototyper during Dr. Alan Grant's visit to a Montana dig site just before Paul and Amanda Kirby arrived at the site. It was originally meant to be shown at Grant's lecture on Raptors.[1] Dr. Grant kept the chamber model for himself.
At the end of the Isla Sorna Rescue Mission on Isla Sorna that followed after the prototype's creation, Dr. Grant successfully used the chamber to drive off a pack of cloned Velociraptors that the survivors had encountered earlier in the incident.[2]
Grant keeps the resonation chamber at his lab in a dig site in Utah, as seen in Jurassic World: Dominion.

Behind the scenes[]
Sound designer Christopher Boyes used the same Velociraptor sounds to create the resonation chamber sound, giving it a "resonant quality." Ironically, he thought it sounded like someone blowing through a kazoo.[3]
An early script for the third film featured Grant using the chamber to call a pack of raptors which would attack and kill the Spinosaurus when the beast continued attacking them.
