I would say:
1. You shouldn �t wear this dress
2. They are shouting. They may be having an argument
3. It can �t be rock music. It sounds like country style.
 
I hope it helps.

Hello!  Some other alternatives...(ooh I love these linguistic puzzles!)
 
1.  You ought not to wear this dress.(strong)/You might not want to wear this dress.(kind advice)/You mustn�t wear this dress. (strongest)
2.  They�re shouting.  They must be having an argument.(if you know them as argumentative)/They could be having an argument.(no assumption)
3.  I�m sure it isn�t rock music.  It might be country (music)./It could be country. 
 
 Best wishes!
 
P.S.  By the way, you began your initial message "Good nights" so I was confused!  Even if it�s very late, to say the equivalent of "hello" you�d need to use "Good evening" instead.  "Good night" always means "goodbye".
