Dynamical properties of relaxor ferroelectric 0.93Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.07PbTiO3 single crystals have been studied by the broadband inelastic light scattering from gigahertz to terahertz frequency range. The longitudinal- and transverse-acoustic (LA and TA) phonon frequencies deviate below the Burns temperature TB=736 K from a linear temperature dependence above TB, indicating the existence of polarization relaxations induced by the polar nanoregions (PNRs). On further cooling, a central peak (CP) which originates from the relaxations in the PNRs is observed clearly below 600 K
