Abstract
In aerospace and acoustical research, there has been significant focus on understanding the negative effects of noise from jet aircraft and flyover vehicles. However, there has been relatively little investigation into the specific noise impacts of launch vehicles. Despite a considerable rise in the number of launches from various spaceports globally in the past decade, there appears to be poor understanding of the potential harm these increasing launches could pose to nearby communities, including both humans and wildlife. This paper aims to apply established noise metrics such as overall sound pressure level, sound exposure level, and effective perceived noise level, commonly used in aircraft policy, to quantify the potential noise impact of launch vehicles, using measurements from the Artemis-I mission as a case study.
