Is this normal??

I have 2 dogs. schnauzer / terrier cross.
They are brothers and will br 3 years old in December.

When I hoover, one of them barks at the hoover, only for about 5 minutes and the he stops. However this week, the same dog has virtually stopped the barking. He now waits till i have finished and then proceeds to stand next to his brother, (side by side), and 'hump'.
Both dogs were castrated when they were puppies.
Does anyone have any idea why he had started to do this.
When he was about a year old, if he had been running around playing in the garden, he used to try and 'mount' his brother, but that soon stopped.

Why has he started doing this? And what has the hoover got to do with it?
