Shelter acoustics generally include husbandry‐oriented noises, people talking at varying decibels, barking, and even loud music. Shelter noise levels are in the area of 85 to 120 db, comparable to a subway, jackhammer, or propeller aircraft (Coppola et al. 2006). Noises, depending on their regularity and acoustic properties, can promote acute or chronic stress. Benefits of the addition of human‐centric noises, such as different types of music, is somewhat equivocal. Heavy metal music significantly increased dog body shaking, whereas classical music was associated with more resting behavior (Wells et al. 2002). At the same time, the effect of the same or inescapable music over extended periods of time has not been studied.
