All I know is that, for me, the sound of a dog barking carries a sense of isolation, and a vague uneasiness. Other distant sounds are likely to do this, but none so intensely as a dog's bark. Of the senses that work at a distance, I think that smell is the sense most likely to provoke memory, sight is the sense most likely to provoke thought, and hearing is the sense most likely to provoke emotion. The lovely evening sky, the scent of jasmine in the cooling air- whatever thoughts and memories they called forth were lost when that dog barked. Sound has power.
