An Acoustic-Noise Reduction Modification Kit for the AN/TPS-32 Radar System

Abstract

Report of a study of the total acoustic noise environment of the AN/TPS-32 radar installation at MCAS, Santa Ana, California, in terms of hearing hazard to personnel and degradation of speech communications. Noise sources were identified, and sound-spectrum levels at each source were measured and analyzed. Several methods for reduction/control of the noise were studied; the one chosen as most effective is described.
