The reason they cannot roar is because the hyoid, a bony sling in the throat of big cats that is either entirely bone or has an elastic ligament. Since cheetahs' hyoids are entirely bone, they cannot expand the throat to produce lower pitched sounds like other big cats do.
The reason why they don't roar, unlike other big cats, is because they are less strong physically. To avoid detection, which would have meant death for themselves or their cubs, they can only chip to communicate. Thanks for the video and the update that nobody is hurt.
hahahaha theyre so squeaky! their vocals are so unique among cats especially for their large size! lol

They chirp like birds. Very interesting to see so many cheetahs at a time.
Hi, Yes they sound weird, this stand off went on for several hours, eventually the attacking males gave up and retreated. No one seemed badly hurt.
I think they sound cute!!!!! I like this video, thank you for posting it up^^ thumbs up!
