I used to be like this and then I got a dog that turned out to be a purebred beagle. His screams wake me up instantly. Dude's the loudest creature I've ever met. I love him to death, but I'll never have another beagle. I was actively avoiding them when I adopted him. The shelter labeled him as a 3 month old bluetick coonhound. Turns out he was 5 months and all beagle. He looked exactly like a bluetick puppy but I started questioning it when I noticed he wasn't teething. Then he started acting beagley a few months after I got him (it took him a while to adjust and not be anxious all the time) At that point I knew he wasn't full bluetick because he wasn't growing much and my vet said he definitely wasn't a pure bluetick. She also confirmed his age to be 5 months when she saw him right after I adopted him. So I got a DNA test for my boi to see how much beagle is in him... he's 100% beagle and everyone in my life thinks it's hilarious. I was adamant about not owning a beagle and I got the most beagle a dog can be.
