A dog also has a far better sense of hearing than we do (I think about 5x?) so it might be something high-pitched and far away, such as a car alarm.

If he really is in fact barking at nothing, it might be worth taking him to the vet for a quick look-over. If he has a blocked ear or something like that, it could cause a ringing sensation which would undoubtably make him upset.

Please let us know how you get on with this.
Thanks for the ear tip! He was just at the vet the other week so I never really thought about ear issues (since I was actually concerned about that.) Might be time to get a consult at another vet!
