The_Popo 06/03/23 8:09:37 PM #8:	Its loud. They dont know what is causing it.

Cobra1010 06/03/23 8:14:57 PM #11:	It's probably because they can tell the range its coming from or the scale of the noise. Heck loud fireworks used to scare my younger brother when he was a kid.

Villain_S_Fiend 06/03/23 8:15:33 PM #13:	It's loud, sounds like calamity, and they don't know where it's coming from. My two cats respond to it exactly opposite of each other.

rexcrk 06/03/23 8:36:33 PM #15:	Im more concerned about grown-ass adults who are scared of thunder. Like, I get if youre sensitive to loud noise, its definitely bothersome.

FortuneCookie 06/04/23 1:00:00 PM #16:	I've had two female dogs who were terrified by storms and two male dogs who were unfazed by them. I don't know if there's any correlation between gender and storm tolerance. That's just the way it was with the dogs we've had. Today is the birthday of one of them, but she's gone now.

FortuneCookie 06/04/23 1:14:41 PM #20:	I will say this, there was one time my dog was staring down a storm cloud and I think she earnestly expected the thing that was making noise to pop out of the storm clouds. There's a military base ten miles from where we lived and B-12s (or similarly sized planes) would sometimes fly overhead. Maybe she thought those were making the storm noises. It's not like I could ask her. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:973921990] in Why do dog...
