This noise probably sounds familiar, and this one.
这个噪音可能听起来很熟悉，还有这个。
For some, these noises are just part of being a pet owner.

But if pets go on too loud for more than 10 minutes, it can not only annoy neighbors but could cost pet owners some serious money.

"This is mostly gonna apply to dogs that are outside or if you live in a multi-family housing and you can hear it through the walls, it would apply."

“这真的是出于动物健康考虑的。
If there are dogs barking 20 minutes, really even 10 minutes which we are lowering this too, there is something wrong with the environment or with the dog,
如果有狗狗叫了20分钟，我们可以再降低一下标准，叫了10分钟，那一定是环境或狗狗出了问题，
and this seeks to compel owners to more properly pay attention to what is wrong with their dog and to address that."
