We have some leftover bones of these things. Everything else is just comparison to modern animals. Dinosaur with carnivorous features would likely have some sort of roar, because well modern carnivores do. The MGM intro doesn't start with the soothing coo of a lion. For all we actually know they communicated by flashing lights on their forehead with some sort of code. So you compare what you observe to what you do know.

The one in the middle is right, they are making up unfounded shit for attention.

What are the closest things we have now to dinosaurs? Crocodiles and alligators? They absolutely make scary sounding growls and roars. Check out 20 seconds onwards for growls, 50 seconds onwards for something approaching roars.

This took me five seconds to find. GG leftist twitter fags.

Oh, and I just found a legit roar after another 20 seconds of looking: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R2pYLE86okk

I didn't think the closed-mouth vocalization theory was even new. I watched vids where people were talking about it and trying to simulate what that might've sounded like from 4-5 years ago. Tbh, the idea of a T-Rex that communicates via this forest-shaking low rumbling noise is one I consider more intimidating than that of a T-Rex bellowing & roaring as it thunders through the woodland, if real it'd be the mark of a creature that pretty much plays its own horror OST when out hunting.

It'd be a creature that scares away all potential prey. It's like the mythical image of wolves howling while hunting. The idea is as stupid as the idea of humans using war whoops while actively hunting (prey or enemies).

The low rumbles would be like how elephants talk to each other over long distances, I would wager.

?

The second video I linked is a crocodile making an open-mouthed roar.

Considering the size of dinosaurs noses, like that t-rex, I'd bet it didn't so much as roar, as may have had a rather violent honk.

Gators also don't roar, but they rumble and vibrate which is terrifying in it's own right.

They can roar. Though it is wasting precious energy when their rumbling cost way less energy and scares the crap out of intruders

Also, aren't chickens evolved from the Trex, or something like that? I'd agree with the violent honk theory, but I also don't really care that much.

Gators are dinosaurs, they haven't evolved very much.

Cheetahs can purr. That doesn't preclude them also roaring or growling. The posters in the thread there seem to think humans can only speak in a perfect monotone, or else are supremely privileged in being the only species able to vocalize in different tones.
