  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.

    I mean, sure. Maybe. Probably?

    But can you imagine anything more terrifying than a multi-ton Canada goose charging and honking at you?

    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.
