Acoustical Assessment of Firing Range, RAF Feltwell, UK

Abstract

An acoustical assessment was performed on the firing range at RAF Feltwell in April 2012. It was determined that the definition of impulse noise in AFOSH Standard 48-20 was not met due to acoustical reflections, particularly off the side walls. Therefore, it was recommended that a Risk Assessment Code be assigned to the facility, personnel audiograms be closely scrutinized, and acoustical absorption treatments be added to reduce noise levels and reduce noise decay times. 15.
