Dragons would have two types of vocalization: high and low. Low voices are slow to make but travels long distances. High voices are fast to make but travels short distances. Thus, they can call out to each other with a low, droning sound generated in their chest. These long-distance calls would be generic messages like "Stay out!" "Want to hunt together?" and "Lemme smash".
When they are close, they use the high voice generated entirely in an organ called the voicebox. The voicebox is very small compared to the dragon chest. It is probably located somewhere on the backs of their necks, to protect it against the elements, impact damage (A dragon's life is hard. Frontal assaults are common.), and from fire and smoke damage (which is why it's not in the throat of the fire-breathing dragons).
The voicebox has its own, little "second lung" to pump air through.
