As a dog owner for decades, I will venture what is an obvious guess and it is that the pitches and decibel level of the music is too much for some of them. Their ears/ hearing are different from ours and it may be absolutely painful for some dogs so, they are expressing their distress and are, essentially, asking for help. Why else would they vocalize and agitate? That's why.
I agree. In fact, I would go so far as to say much music actually hurts the dogs’ ears. Especially if it is loud. I used to think my Welsh terrier enjoyed barking along with us singing “Happy Birthday” as a family. But in fact, I was told he was barking/howling because his ears hurt (maybe we were singing really off key).
