Shooting ranges have turned into an unwanted activity in rural communities due to high levels of impulse sound pressure levels. Permanent complaints from neighbors or neighborhood associations pertaining health concerns and noise pollution around areas nearby shooting ranges are a driving force to create state noise control laws. As such, examining zoning will limit (restricting licenses) to the use of agricultural or residential land to be used for shooting events. Gun noise is measurable and therefore is able to be quantified and characterized. This study evaluates with field noise measurements the events from a “shooting ranch” which currently operates offering a shooting competition while riding a horse emulating the Old West. The analysis of field data pretends to look at metrics such as LAeq (A-weighted equivalent sound level), L90 (noise level exceeded for 90% of the measurement period), and Lmax (maximum level if the measurement period from 50 caliber single action revolver gun sounds while shooter is in movement riding a horse. The field measurements were conducted in different nearby residences. The impulse noise lead to examine instead individual gunshots which exceeded background levels by 14 to 34 decibels. Noise levels from Shooting Ranch events are sometimes more than three times the background noise level. Leq and L90 metrics are applicable within individual events.
