I'm thinking this might also be a victim of journo-speak. As much as we rightfully distrust the modern scientific community, it's also often the case the media scum take a scientific article and run wild with it. I wonder if the study even said that dinosaurs didn't roar...it might have just said some cooed. Journos then went for the most soyed up clickbait interpretation. Many such cases.
I remember seeing something about ankylosaur larynx bones that indicated softer sounds, but that was just one particular species. It'd be like taking a fossilized human larynx and assuming all mammals could use human phonemes.
Yeah, like I mentioned in a different comment, its pretty likely that this is a pretty neutral and mundane theory being floated around that is pretty minor in the grand scheme, but the guys reporting it have an ax to grind to make something you like and think is cool seem gay and terrible.
That's how basically all "science" news works. The articles are written with an agenda in mind and with clickbait obscuring the actual fucking fact of the article, so the only use for them is to find the link to the original paper and read it instead.
And most of them tuck that link deep in so you can't easily do so, because they know.
