White Noise for Dogs – Fireworks and Storms

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Some dogs relax more when a steady sound covers sudden noises like fireworks, thunder, doorbells or traffic. Brown noise is a good start because its deep rumble masks booms better than a hiss. Keep the volume moderate, since dogs hear better than we do, play it in the room where your dog feels safe, and start before the noisy event, not in the middle of it.
