People in my neighborhood are setting off the loudest non-commercial fireworks I've ever heard. I don't know if M80s are still a thing, but I know my dogs are not loving it at all. 🤬

@voltronic

it's really terrible. Wish I could ban all amateur fireworks.

Wondering, would noise cancelling headphones work for dogs?

@artemis
I agree.

And no, they wouldn't. Because dogs hear so differently than we do, including much higher frequencies.

@voltronic
That's true.
But, why we don't have the technology to do it?

Hm, how about sound proof crates? like a musician room :-) w'd a dog still hear if inside such a room?

@artemis

Or noise cancelling headphones for dogs.

@voltronic

@TheAbbotTrithemius @artemis @voltronic

I suspect that they would be ineffective as dogs are likely more susceptible to the sound in their whole body. Ever been to a club and stood next to a huge subwoofer?
Imagine having that feeling inflicted upon you without your consent.

@stueytheround

Possible. Dogs may sense the vibrations as well.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @voltronic

@artemis If we can, they can.

I tried to get an answer from Alfred, but he's blabbering in circles. :--)
Why it's so difficult to have the proper technology for digs? We are going to Mars, and we cannot do a headphone for a dog?? how so?

@artemis
Noise cancelling is never as effective as noise isolating anyway. Think of ear protection made for firearms use, flight crews, etc. The most important thing to the effectiveness of those things working is creating a tight seal, and I don't think you're going to get that with fur unless the headphones are painfully tight.
