An inelastic X-ray scattering study on a single crystal of TbMnO$$_3$$ was performed to reveal whether phonon anomaly related to the appearance of the ferroelectricity exists. We have measured the transverse modes, especially the Mn-O-Mn bending mode, polarized along the $$c$$ axis propagating along the $$b$$ axis, because these modes are expected to be most relevant to the spontaneous electric polarization along the $$c$$ axis concomitantly with the spiral spin ordering modulated along the $$b$$ axis. However, no anomaly in phonon dispersions was observed even below the ferroelectric transition temperature below 50 meV. The present result suggests that the mechanism of ferroelectric transition in $$R$$MnO$$_3$$ is different from that of a conventional displacive-type ferroelectric.
