Like chickens.
I'm not even joking. The sounds ours make would be terrifying if they were the size of an ostrich, much less a trex

Have you ever heard big cats? They sound like little cats but... deeper. I feel like dinosaurs would sound like birds with similar deepening, depending on the size of the dino.
Did you know that turtles scream when they, uh, copulate? Imagine how loud a dinosaur would have been.
I'm not sure, but considering most animals make at least some sounds none of us would guess came from them, I wouldn't be surprised if the topic of their vocals was just abandoned by science and left up for interpretation.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Kinda like birds, but much deeper/lower & also slower. Instead of making 12 sounds in 1.5 seconds, they would maybe take like 6 seconds to make the same 12 sounds.
You ever hear lyrebirds? Usually they'll mimic the environment but sometimes they'll sing in a way you swear was right from the Jurassic. They definitely don't roar, that came from the junk era of paleontology when people were just hip-firing and assumed they were giant lizards.
What do you mean? Didn't you see the historical documentary "Jurassic Park"?
Never give up, never surrender!
something loud & terrifying, like elephant loud but as terrifying as a lion... Idk
I'll be very disappointed when they finally clone a real life T-Rex from DNA preserved in amber, and it won't sound like it's supposed to, meaning like Gary Rydstrom decided how they should sound.
