Bet they honked like a goose.
If they did, it would at least be a lot lower-pitched than a goose. Vocalization frequency tends to scale with the size of an animal.
So I'm guessing their honk would sound more like a foghorn ... which is kind of terrifying in its own way.

HOOOOOOONK
Captain: RIGHT FULL RUDDER!!!
I mean, sure. Maybe. Probably?
But can you imagine anything more terrifying than a multi-ton Canada goose charging and honking at you?
(Slow heavy metal version of O Canada plays as mega goose swoops in)
Counterexample: cheetahs. They sort of meow instead of roaring.
Have you heard what a horny moose sounds like? Although I guess that’s not technically a “vocalization”.
Didn't they have feathers? Or was that another era?
Yes, current consensus is that T-Rex probably had at least some feathers.
