to think my 9 week old DS should be allowed to make some noise?

We live in an end of terrace house and DH freaks out if our 9 week DS makes even one cry at night because it's not fair on the neighbours. Plus DH works shifts so when he's on nights I have to try and stop DS crying in the day too so it doesn't disturb him sleeping. Not that I want to let DS cry for hours but just sometimes crying seems necessary. Am facing the next 4 days of him being on nights and just feel miserable. Just wanted to moan really...

I think men find it harder in general to hear a baby cry, no idea why, perhaps it's the pitch of the cry but I can almost turn off the thought that DS2(13 weeks) is crying but it drives DP to distraction, he says it is because he only cries if he needs feeding and obv. he can't do anything about that so it gets to him but who knows.
