Queen ant and noise

[Nobody]

Can loud noise stress out a queen ant? For example music or dogs barking?

More likely the vibrations caused by said, loud music etc.
I'd assume it'd habe to be pretty loud to stress out a queen or workers etc.

Okay cool cool I thought so thank you

As far as I know only Messor harvester ants are really sensitive to vibrations and loud noise. Unless you turn on your music to a level where the windows start shattering it should not be an issue for most ants.

I have a Solenopsis invicta that I kept on my computer table for about a month until she got her first worker. I play music all the time and play games so this species doesn't seem to care too much.

Sweet ! Thanks for your responses! My dorymyrmex insanus has been laying tons of eggs and doesn't seem to care about my music!
