re: How can dogs tell the difference between real door bell and TV door bell?

quote:It probably doesn't sound the same to them. We've designed our mics and speakers to record and reproduce sounds the way we hear them, so even though a recording played back can sound almost the same to us it most likely sounds much different to an animal. Animals are more/less sensitive to different frequency ranges than us. We have to set limits somewhere because we do not have infinite bandwidth for storage and transmission, so we set the upper cutoff below the normal range of human hearing (sometimes well below because too much high frequency can negatively impact the lower range that we're interested in). As a result "real life" sounds probably sound much more full and rich to dogs than our recordings of them.
How can they tell the difference when they sound the exact same?

My dog will bark ferociously at the ring bell, I think she just hates it, but when she hears it on tv, she’ll let out a couple of low woofs. Then she’ll look around like, was that on tv or is that real

Every one of our labs would get excited the first few times they heard or saw ducks on TV, until they figured out it was bullshite and never paid attention again.

You drive a truck or shut a car door near my front door and my dog goes ape shite. You knock the door or ring the bell and I'm in for 20 minutes of trying to calm him down.
Funny enough, you walk through the door and he can't stop licking you. All bark.

Probably from the direction it comes from. Been conditioned that all sounds from that “picture box” are fake.
I had a lab that when I watched duck hunting shows and it showed a flock landing, he would go run behind the tv thinking they landed there.

How has no one brought up the fact that chewy.com had a doorbell commercial? The dog would lose it when he heard that. Either the marketing execs were genius or complete morons.

Sounds to dogs and sounds to humans are different. Dogs can hear sounds at much higher frequencies than humans.

My wife’s (no pics) English Bulldog can watch me knock on the coffee table and he runs to bark at the door…..

had a heeler like that, any knocking and she’d go nuts, she could recognize the sound of the engine in my wife’s car from a block away

They get fooled by Alexa at times. Not sure this dog was fooled or just frustrated.

She got her chicken though.

Dogs hear things we’ll never hear. The buzzing of electronics for example. Life is never quiet, by design. They “hear” even when sleeping.
And our’s goes ape if he hears a doorbell on TV.
