This totally depends on which hallway/building/apt you are in. If you are next to a large dog you will hear it, along with TVs, and loud conversation too. The walls are thin and noise echos due to height of celing. Most dogs here are cuties though. If noise is an issue the trains and rain (super loud tin roof not relaxing) will drive you nuts. Train horn all night long with honking up to a minute long. Also there is more of a drunken party and domestic fighting ongoing noise issue. There is an officer here but he has never responded to any of my noise complaints or texts.
A lot of people here have dogs. Occasionally you hear dogs barking. Its not often enough to be a problem and it's never been for longer than a minute.
I live there currently now, I can hear my neighbors dog bark through the wall and I can hear the neighbors when they are going up and down the stairs. Other then that I haven't had a problem at all with noise. There are dogs in the apartment complex and sometimes they bark but the majority of the time it's not a problem.
No, I think is over reacting.
