This question was submitted during a past webinar titled Crash, Boom, Bang: Update on Canine Noise Phobia Treatments:
Question:
Are there any studies that specifically address fear of high pitched noises?
Answer provided by Julia (Julie) Albright, MA, DVM, DACVB:
Dr. Emily Levine’s chapter from the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Behavioural Medicine (2nd ed) on sound sensitivities has some interesting data and hypotheses about the characteristics of noise and their relationship to fear or startle.
