Very evident in most Euro SOFs except brits. My personal opinion - only US Special Operations and their local partners run kits that are practical in nature. Ive seen some european guys running goofy looking kit that appeals to your average redditor (GPNVGs with Rhino mounts, the uncanny looking uniformity)
A microphone receives the sounds outside of the headset and transmits them to a speaker inside of the headset. The level-dependent digital audio circuit senses noise levels above the desired threshold and compresses them to a safe decibel level or amplifies weak sounds to an audible level.View attachment 211040

first of all you need to understand the working of dog's ears.
Unlike humans, whose hearing range is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz dogs can hear as low as 4000 Hz so what @JConline talked about i.e amplification : dogs don't need that. Unlike humans, dogs hearing ability aren't enchanced by comtacs.
Coming to second part, cutting the disruptive sound, there are already equipments present in the market that are fit for this role, and it costs much lower than your comtacs.

These are special cloths that block loud sound.
If your special forces have andha paisa, sure go for special caliberated comtacs. Train your dogs to get in tune with those devices but practical use of such devices for dogs is zero.

Military dogs are prized for their hearing—but loud noises can be a problem.www.popularmechanics.com
Their main role is to enhance situational awareness and establish a direct communication line with the handler, I saw an interview of former devgru attached who said they would often send k9 into cave systems or unaccessible or high danger areas and would use similar setup to monitor dog movement and give command through ear peice, I dont know anything about dogs hearing but I think that was the reasoning.View attachment 211040

They aren't any "experienced", their only kills have been against unarmed policemen or off-guard soldiers. I'll say they're good at planning and execution.
Thats an Israeli Army standard issue, with Israeli FAB Defence buttstock, Mepro M5 and Israeli Laser Aiming Module

Its just like without them you would hear footsteps very lightly but with them on you would hear them more clearly as the sound is amplified , it works the same for dogs
earpiece along with muffs are quite common in american special forces. even nsg uses something of this sort.
Amplitude and Frequency of sound are two TOTALLY different parameters. Frequency is measured in Hz and kHz. Amplitude/ Loudness is measured in Decibels. COMTACs protects you from Decibels. Because a loud sound can cause as much damage to a human as it can to a dog. And the CAPS never took off in the US military cause it effectively reduced the field of sound that the dog could hear. COMTACs helps nullify the issue of loud sounds without reducing the dog's field of hearing.View attachment 211040

The dogs would hear the footsteps at the same decibel level as humans. Absolutely nothing to do with the frequency shit you mentioned. All it is is that they are more sensitive to sound. But at the same time, a loud sound will send them into a frenzy too. So what a COMTAC does is, it prevents the dog from losing focus due to a loud sound, and it allows the dog to pick up clearer sound clues amidst all the chaos. And on top of that, it allows the handler to relay commands to the dog from a longer distance, in the middle of a lot louder background noise, thus increasing the efficiency of the fur missile.
My bad, what I wanted to portray was heightend hearing of dogs. Using frequence as an example was a bad choice.
you are wrong. go and search on google then come back.
Happens every year, multiple sf/sff/sg units both overtly and covertly provide security and add SAR capability to yatra.
READ what I wrote. ".... naturally amplify the sound." SO DOES A HUMAN EAR. The whole function of the three small bones called Malleus, Incus, and Stapes is to amplify the sound vibrations and act as a conductive media for sound waves. The little bones in the dog's ear function the same way. But the shape of the dog's ear bones is such that they amplify the sound better, making their ears more sensitive, which I already said! And your whole counter-argument only strengthens my argument. Cause a dog's heightened sensitivity means that they are more prone to louder sounds. A COMTAC prevents that. Plus, the COMTAC also amplifies softer sounds, thus increasing the dog's spatial awareness. Added benefits would be longer distance relay of commands etc.
first you need to accept the fact that human ear amplification capabilities are nothing in front of dog's.
They can’t do a fidayeen attack successfully. Last one was in 2017 I believe
Decibel is a physical quantity, a unit of measurement. Can't be perceived differently. And I already said that the dog's ears are more sensitive. Don't know what else you want me to say.
