Probably the calm before the storm.
We got a 9 week old staffy from a rescue. Had her a week and I'm knackered! She had been in her basket on our bedroom floor but then scaled the heights onto the bed. So no hope of crating her up there, and we're scared if she sleeps with us we'll crush her.
So last night, the crate, alone, downstairs it was and she cried all night. I think we'll give it a few more days. She doesn't seem to go to the loo during the night (she did the first few days) and she didn't even know how to go on newspaper/puddy pads - and refused to poo in the garden even if she was desperate, as she hates being watched when she poos. But the last couple of days she has been very good about going on the puppy pads so we live in hope we can slowly push them towards the back door, then out...
Am not sure if my neighbours can hear her through the walls. The walls are thin but I can only just hear their baby (who has the lungs of a trucker) screaming so I suspect puppy yaps - although we can just about hear upstairs, can't be heard through walls...
Our last staffy slept through the night quickly and was crate trained fast and never had separation anxiety. This one seems to want to be velcro'd to me though. If I go for a wee, she wants to come too and if she's asleep and I twitch a muscle, her eyes open...
