A dog barking will not make a cake fall during cooking. There would need to be sound waves violent enough to break the bubbles forming in the cake for this to happen, and a dog barking is not that big a noise, and the cake is also insulated from noise by the door of the oven.

YES, while it is being cooked.

To start with the cake batter is liquid and as it warms up the raising agents in the batter release bubbles of carbon dioxide (the batter froths up) and this makes the cake rise. As the temperature gets even higher, the batter then begins to set with the mixture forming a framework round all the bubbles.

If, after the batter has frothed up, the still runny mixture (i.e. before it sets) is exposed to vibrations (sound is a vibration), these vibrations can cause the bubbles to move and coalesce so that the carbon dioxide escapes from the batter and the cake falls back and ends up as a hard lump when cooked.
