How would an animal make concussive sound waves from its mouth?

+0
−0

Think of a thunderdrum from the How To Train Your Dragon movies for its large mouth, but it has a wingless centaur shaped body. It has a large head that can open its mouth wide. How would it create a concussive force with its mouth? I had planned for this creature to be on land, but how it might work for underwater would be useful too. I remember at Sci-port there was this drum that if you hit it it would make these stringed cds hanging from the ceiling move from the soundwaves. Maybe it uses a similar method but more powerful.

I imagine it chasing a group of animals and using the sound force to herd them at some point in it developing a civilization.
