- Will this damage my dog's / my hearing?
The Barkie is 130db which helps to project the sound are far as possible; however, at an arms length (with the speaker facing away) the sound heard is around 90db which is about as loud as a dog's bark. Responsible brief exposure to the Barkie's siren is unlikely to cause long term damage to your / your dogs hearing.
