Gunner hates the tv loud. He finally got used to that, now he hates storms and gun shots.

Yes, storms, fireworks and gunshots make my boy crazy too. There is one TV ad that has a firework in it and he hates that too. I don't know where he got this fear from as I did not adopt him until he was over a year old. Also I swear he can hear a TV dog bark even when the TV sound is muted!!
It comes to something when we have to tailor our music to their tastes, LOL!
I wonder if it depends on their experiences or if the sound sensitivity is inborn?
Interesting to read all your views.

Gizmo was afraid of the TV when we first came home which lasted about a week. Now every once in a while he'll hear a sound and bark at the TV.

Depending on how you have your settings, I can see how it could affect a dog. If you have your bass set low or high (I don't know music but I hear it when the kids drive by coming from their cars) I can see how the vibration it causes could make a dog shake much like they do in a thunderstorm. Not sure that's what it is, but it's not just their ears that are sensitive, I think their whole sensory system is that much more sensitive than ours. Then depending on how the music bounces around in your house, yeah, it can make them shake/scared. My Dh watches a stupid sport fishing show that beeps occasionally and that makes my dogs start shaking and panting. It's barely noticeable, but they never miss it.

I consider myself to be very lucky, Yazmin doesn't seem to be bothered by any type of music or loud sounds. I truly thought she might be frightened of my 7 speaker surround sound system when she was a puppy but she enjoys hearing dogs barking on TV in stereo! Lol My heart really goes out to the pups that are terrified of thunderstorms, fireworks, etc.

If you're interested in music just for your little guy, I highly recommend the CD's, Through A Dog's Ear. Yazmin once suffered from separation anxiety after I returned to work last year and I found this music to be extremely comforting to her! I still put the CD's on before I leave to go anywhere and she's now fine with being left alone.
