Barking problems

Hi! I have a GSP mix puppy who is almost 6 months old. Up until recently, there’s been little to no issues with training! He was completely potty trained within 10 weeks, rarely barked, sleeps perfectly, and can be left alone with no issues. We live in a townhouse with roommates, one of which got a cat in the last couple weeks. Ever since they got the cat, my puppy’s barking has skyrocketed. The cat stays in it’s bedroom most of the time and they don’t interact other than seeing each other twice, but ever since my puppy realized there’s another animal living here, he barks at almost every sound in the apartment. I think because he’s freaked out or thinks he’s guarding us? I’ve seen tips on helping barking for attention but I don’t know how to fix this. Would getting the animals more comfortable with each other help? Please give me any tips!
