It's amazing how many people don't hear their dog barking, though the neighbors can't get any sleep.

I always feel that we have the crappiest built house and our barking dog neighbors must have much better built houses.
When I complain about barking noises, I mean we keep all doors and windows shut. And every room has a fan (turned ON) for white noise to help aid in muting.
THEN and ONLY THEN do I start getting agitated. And I am half-deaf (sic). My left ear does not work. So, let me repeat...
I am bothered by dogs barking..
1. through the walls
2. with windows shut
3. with fans on
4. while lying 'good ear down' on my pillow.
And I still hear and get awakened.

I can only DREAM of being able to have a window open and not hear something somewhere.
Now, then, the Harleys and BOOM BOOM thumper bass radio/stereos only complete the total inundation of noise pollution.
I love our mostly barkless dog.
