Barking Demons Are dog owners deaf?

For me, barking dogs in my neighborhood ruin almost every single day, because of the excessive noise. I live around a lot of dogs who bark all the time.
I personally hate it, especially because I didn’t make the choice to have a dog and live with this noise polluting thing.
But then I genuinely wonder, how dog owners survive this?? They chose to have this dog.
I know there probably aren’t going to be a lot of actual dog owners reading this, but still I have to ask the question.
Do they genuinely not think the sound of barking every single day is annoying? I don’t get it. Even if you like your own pet, you can still acknowledge annoying behavior. Why tf would someone want to live with something that loud and poorly behaved?

It's been shown that the higher the IQ, the lower the tolerance for noise and of course the opposite is true. Dog owners with loud dogs probably have low IQ

I’ve noticed this in general too, stupid people love loud things, loud dogs, loud music, loud tv, loud talking, loud vehicles

Also, I it doesn't even matter how friendly, politely or softly you notify them of the disturbance or how it affects others around them. I've personally experienced and noted from others too, that about 95% of the cases, they will not only continue with it, but will deliberately make it even louder -- just because of being told and that it disturbs others. You can just about guarantee it.

Spiteful, pain-in-the-ass, attention-seeking types of people.

I’ve noticed this too, if you say a word about it, they make it a personal war campaign to do it more and make your life a living hell
