I love the roosters crowing. To me it is a peaceful sound. Barking dogs not so much including my own 6. Cows mooing also is peaceful.
You wouldn't think cows mooing was peaceful if you ever had to listen to a herd of beef cows mooing for 36 hours straight when their spring calves got weaned off and hauled away in November.
After 24 hours their throats are hoarse and the sound gets on your nerves.

I hope you aren't complaining about them with a mouth full of steak.

Roosters are much worse in Hawaii and Asia. Daily dog fight at 4am when living in thailand. 5 am roosters, 6am motorbikes, Disco only goes till 3 am, so pretty good sleeping from 3-4 am.
USA dogs are really bad, cuz owners NEVER hear their own dogs barking.
For 28 yrs, I got home from work at 2:30am. Neighbor left his seven dogs out ar 4:30am. They were still barking at 2pm when I left for work. Ironically many USA dog owners think more dogs mean 'company' for what they thought was their 'lonely' dog. No such sense with 'pack' animals. They incite each other to no good.
Me farm dogs bark at only one person.... the tax assessor! Good dog, don't let them out of the car.
Of course my farm dogs don't bark cuz they want to get in the house. They are never in the house, and have a great time outdoors exploring.
'Service dogs' have really added a lot of stress to airtravel this yr. you can get your service 'pass' online from a fake dr, so service dogs are up about 500%. Same in my rental homes. For the first time in 40 yrs, I started getting threatened with 'service animals', Every applicant in the last yr now has a 'service' dog. So I just sold 4 of my rentals. Time to find a new source of income. Mobile dog washing...
I enjoy all the country sounds; they don't bother me at all. I also love the sound of trains, even at night. We lived for a few years with a train track running along my parents' property. Didn't bother me at all. Now I live in a suburban area but at night I can hear trains in the distance (can't hear them during the day with the traffic, etc). I love it!
I grew up in a railroading community, and my first apartment, through most of my twenties, was literally in a BNSF switching yard (it was a late 1800s vintage brick structure that had served as a rail passenger boarding house). I could look out my east-facing windows and wave to the people in Amtrak's Sightseer Lounge car when the train would stop at the depot on the other side of the tracks, because they were at the level of my second floor windows and about 20 yards away from me.
I live within audible distance of the tracks, still, albeit in a different state and much larger community, and I love it. It reminds me of my hometown.
The last time I was bothered by roosters, was when I lived in the middle of a small city of 50k people. Out here in the country, not so much, people are spread out so the roosters are far enough away not to be a significant noise issue.
I'm having a hard time adjusting to rural / small town life but I can't say the sounds of Roosters or Cows bother me in the least. For whatever reason the Roosters I do hear seem to be later in the morning 10-11am. Now that it's winter and the windows are closed I don't hear them at all.
Tons of cows directly across the street, from where I'm typing I could almost throw a rock to them. The sounds at night they make our interesting and other then the fact I worry I could not notice a bear approaching because of the cows the sounds don't bother me. The dogs barking are usually "working" vs being annoying so their owners put them in the back in the city.
I live in the city now and when I put seed out for the birds and crows come I love hearing them. I chuckle and just hear them as of they are talking to each other. Like a conversation. When I move to a more rural area I will just hear the animals as if they are just talking to each other.
