Abstract:
Report of a study of the total acoustic noise environment of the ANTPS-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 reductioncontrol of the noise were studied the one chosen as most effective is described.
