Yes it would!

Before starting that I thought I'd finish a small job - setting up two more speakers in the den - but that has grown to rearranging furniture (and some vacuuming) before positioning the speakers. I also read the manual and realized why some things sound quieter than others; all of the speakers positions are programmable so I'm probably getting results on my speakers from how the previous owner had the thing set up in their space, and why sometimes I hear nothing, like on some DVDs - surround sound is set to play things over speakers I don't have set up. I have to reprogram it. Setting everything in place for now will be enough, I can do the programming later. It meant a couple of deep dives into the front room to dig out more speakers.

But as I shifted boxes in that room I looked inside one—where on earth did a man's formal kilt come from? Finding it stopped the work, to examine it. I've set it aside for later. My house seems to be doing its own collecting without my knowledge.

The noise will probably start around dusk, so I have a few hours until Pepper is a drooling mess. If it wasn't so hot I'd take them for a walk (I was going to this morning but got sidetracked, and when it occurred to me again, it was already too hot.) Tomorrow is cooler and a chance of rain; too bad it didn't rain today.
