Do ddoggy owners go noise blind?

Genuine question.. We all claim our homes def don't smell of ddog. Not an actual statement but as a general... Nose blind to ddoggy smells isn't a crime!! But do we go noise blind also? Do you know how much your ddog barks? Hand on heart could it be annoying people? Every Saturday for a few years between 9-10 am for at least half an hour 2 women meet on the path outside my house and chat. Not quite sure how as 1 of the 2 ddogs barks the ENTIRE TIME.. now is it they (owner /both) can't hear it or are immune/don't care /can lipread/genuinely noise blind? It echos the entire Green. On which there is a care home which I assume hears the bloody thing also..
Are they Cfers or noise blind?
*we are all listed buildings with single pane glass...

CFers.
Some mornings at 7.15 I walk our grumpiest dog down to the river on his own, passing some houses. If he sees anything unexpected he barks, and I really wish he wouldn't - not everyone is awake at that time. So I hurry him on or distract him to keep the noise down.

I think it depends on the breed of dog and what you feed them. Huskies are a low odour and mine don't smell my other breeds have always had a doggy smell.

When we first got our pup i really didn't like the smell, I would mop and clean his bedding frequently. He's 18 months now and I cant smell him unless I literally sniff his fur.

I'm very conscious of his barking as our neighbours used to have 2 dogs that barked a lot and it used to do my head in so I'm aware of the annoyance it can cause. At the weekend we walk him to the green for his first wee instead of letting him out the back as even 1 bark is enough to wake people up and I dont think that's fair before 9 at the weekend.
