What do dogs hear when bats are flying around?

• What do dogs hear when bats are flying around? Indy05 Posted : 8/17/2008 12:29:33 PM When I walk my dog early in the morning (twilight) I can see and hear bats.  To the human ear it is a little chirping sound, but what does it sound like to a dog?  They have a keener sense of hearing and since bats use a high frequency sound to locate insects I wonder why the sound does not hurt a dog's ears.  Anyone know?

• janetmichel3009 Posted : 8/17/2008 2:11:32 PM my dogs have never shown any reaction to bats... i'm sure it's different for different species of bats as well, as i think they use different frequencies... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 8/17/2008 2:18:45 PM I've never seen or heard bats during the hours we walk, but the squirrels make a chattery little noise that Max can hear quite a distance from whatever tree they're in.  Drives him nutso.
