Yes, but due to the nature of the medium being written, there are no auditory sounds, only descriptions.

Yes, after the dinosaurs get loose, they are killed & injured in a variety of ways.
The most intense is when several dinosaurs are poisoned with a strong enough dose to induce seizures in seconds, with other dinosaurs turning on the seizing ones; it's quite intense & even though they're mostly depicted as mindless monsters, it's still sad, upsetting, & disturbing.

A newborn baby is eaten alive at the end of chapter four. It's horrifying and will likely distress many readers. Chapter 37 also briefly references a toddler killed by an animal and then goes on to detail how predators in general kill young children.

In the first few chapters there's a background plot of a woman giving birth, but it's only ever in the periphery and we never hear about the actual delivery.
