My dog is quiet. Too quiet

Reddit Animals

I think there was a fox or raccoon outside my house. My dog barks at literally every noise but, hearing this, was fine. Could it be that the sound was not an animal? Or could he tell that it was, i don’t know, a mating call so he did not need to worry? I find it really strange, anybody know anything?
