I don't know if it's related or not, but our Baloo (age 7 yrs) reacts strangely to (some) sounds also. He will be sleeping and, all of a sudden, bolt up and run to either my husband or me for "protection". We finally tied these episodes to noises - usually a whirring noise similar to a 2 cycle engine, motorcycle, or GIGANTIC bug ;-0 Don't know what he thinks it is, but he is SURE it will get him. We just assure him that everythign is OK and tell him what a good, brave boy he is (ha!), and he goes back to sleep... until the next time.

Do older dogs in general get more noise sensitive?
