Turkey vultures by pond

Turkey vultures hanging out by the pond, with Canadian geese swimming in the background.
The quality of the video isn't good, I know. I had to use zoom to take this, because if I go too near to the vultures or if they even notice I'm watching them, that usually scares them away.

I guess that is similar to geese hissing. It had occurred to me, taking the above video (with the noise of geese honking and a few other birdcalls in the background), that I've never heard vultures make any vocal sounds. According to this page, they don't have the vocal organs for it:
