Dinosaur's roar strong enough to blow objects?; Did any of the Dinosaurs possess a roar so strong it can blow inanimate objects?

Hey everyone :)
I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan, in Jurassic Park 1 (1993) during the iconic first appearance of Tyrannosaurus Rex, there is a scene where T-Rex's roar is so powerful that it actually blows off Sam Neil's hat off his head. Similar instances are in cartoons too.
Now to my knowledge i can't name a single 'living' creature today that is capable of having a roar so powerful it can blow your hair, or a tree twig/branch etc..
Lion can't do it right?....
Whales can't actually do it because they are underwater..
And i doubt any of the other 'Big Cats' can pull this off...
So SURELY the Theropods would be the best candidates for this right? Or they at least have the potential to pull this off?????

I would say that since Cassowary can do some short of roar or moan, dinosaurs could also do so.

What do you think were the vocalisations of sauropods?

Although I obviously can't say for certain, I can't help but feel that bellows sound (literally) rather fitting for sauropods.

For Giraffatitan+ size sauropods what I can imagine is a deep whalish moan. And I believe that due to their tiny necks small part of the sound was coming out of their moans.

Do you guys think a sauropod would be able to produce something like this?


Turn up your speakers and listen!
