Dogs hearing question - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hi, I have a dog (cross german shepherd/husky/collie) and today she was in the car. I like to listen to loud music so it got me wondering... do dogs hear sound louder than humans? Or are they just more sensitive to it? If my dog is in the car and I'm pumping some tunes with bass is it worse for her than me? I'll assure you, when she's in the car it isn't that loud, but I was just wondering if it was, would it be bad?
Thanks in advance

I do believe their range of hearing is the only thing different than ours. If she isn't acting out of the ordinary then I doubt its hurting her.
