Acoustical Assessment of Firing Range, Kunsan AB, South Korea

Abstract

An acoustical assessment was performed on the Combat Arms Firing Range at Kunsan AB in May 2012. It was determined that the noise in the firing range did not meet the definition of impulse noise in AFOSH Standard 48-20 due to acoustical reflections, particularly off the side walls. Therefore, it was recommended that acoustical absorption be added to these side walls to reduce the reverberant field.
