Default harmful noise levels

Anyone know whether or not the noise level in the back of a truck with a
cab high shell is bad enough to cause a loss of hearing in a dog, a dog
that rides in the back?

Depends on the decibel level. Dog ear are sensitive to a wider range
of frequencies but would probably suffer hearing loss with prolonged
exposure to high decibel levels. Put yourself in the truck back and
have someone drive around at the speeds you expect to drive at and see
if you encounter any muffling afterwards. If you do, so will your dog.
