Dogs have extremely sensitive ears. They are keen to high pitched sounds, and those high pitched sounds actually hurt their ears. They hear something like a million times better than a human, well maybe not that much, but as I said, they have great hearing.

Most people will tell you that it hurts their ears, but that is not the case. In the wild, dogs howl to communicate with others of their own species. In the sirens there is a tone that instinctively causes the dog to howl.

It has something to do with the pitch of the sound. I live beside the railroad, and all 4 of my Danes start "singing" when a train blows for the crossing!
