We calculated the vibrational densities of states for three-dimensional Penrose tiling. Anomalous behaviour at low frequencies is observed. Two crossover frequencies omega <sub>s</sub>, and omega <sub>c</sub>, exist. The first can be attributed to crossover from surface phonon excitations to bulk phonon excitations, while the second is explained as crossover from phonon excitations to fracton-like excitations. The phonons follow the scaling law omega <sup>d-1</sup>, where d is the Euclidean dimension and equals 3 and 2 for the bulk and the surface phonons, respectively. The fracton-like excitations which have a non-extended character follow the scaling law omega <sup>ds-1</sup> where d<sub>s</sub> is the fracton-like dimension and is shown to equal 3 for the present case.
