The funny part about this is…

We do know what some of them sounded like. (Well I forget which ones so, maybe they’re not Dino’s, but uh, yeah.) (also, big “maybe” attached. They took 3d scans of what they think are the vocal organs and ran air through a 3d printed version.)

That was an exaggerated bit in the Lost World movie, but vocalizations are mostly done with soft tissue, which isn't fossilized.

They found a fossilized Anklyosaurus larynx, which is what I 3d printed.

I got the file from a chain of friends passing the STL along, and highly-scientifically printed it in TPU and ran some air through just for the fun of it.

It sounded like a squeaky fart and was worth about of laughter and jokes. My nephew may have been at the age of fart jokes and not knowing when they were dead.
