Movies & whiny dog

This may sound funny & weird but here goes. Our dog Daisy makes our life miserable when we watch movies. We can not put on surround sound or even lights off. She sits behind my chair whiny & shaking terribly, the t.v. Is at normal volume. Not sure what to do or what is causing this, regular t.v. Is fine, but put on a movie on the t.v. Or DVD player and it starts. Even during the day, this just has started in the last couple months. Her thunder shirt doesn't help.

    I wonder if there are sounds, either too high, or too low, for us lowly humans to hear...that she's picking up on?? Who knows - maybe there are sounds that are causing her pain?? Try not using the surround sound system as an experiment - and see if that makes a difference?

    The other thought is that she's picking up on vibrations from the subwoofer - and that's spooking her??

    And one last thought: maybe she picks up on your fear/apprehension during perilous scenes in movies? My late Aussie, at times, would stand and snarl at the TV screen if something was "scaring" the grandkids....LOL!!
