Noise emission measurements
The noise emission of a significant portion of FDF light and heavy weapons have been measured
The emission data is used for computational noise assessment of FDF firing ranges
Measurement conditions affect the uncertainty of the emission data

Measurement conditions
Good conditions:
Trial firing range (muzzle blast only)
Measurement distance: ~100 m for heavy weapons The distance should be greater
Large open area
Hard ground around the weapon
Reference explosion to assess effects of weather and to estimate the ground correction Some issues with direct ground correction compensation
Other conditions:
Measurements of live firing at training grounds
Measurement distance: long, variable
Soft ground, non-flat terrain
Influence of weather
Blast induced vibration - Background
Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) have received complaints on building damage and annoyance
Assessment of vibration from heavy weapons and explosions has been under development in Finland
Pilot project on shooting vibration 2007-09
Measurements at 3 sites (1 artillery, 2 explosion)
Literature survey
Project continued 2009-2014
Measurements around 5 shooting areas
Guide (draft) on measurements and assessment
In-depth investigation of one artillery shooting area
Building vibration
Impulsive and low-frequency sound waves propagate over long distances, several kilometres
Building vibration is induced by the passing sound wave
Figure shows the motion (strongly exaggerated)
a) b)
c) d)
Coupling to structures
Building vibration is induced by airborne sound pressure
= pressure wave = noise
and is coupled to the building structures directly
from the air
Building vibration is not a result of
groundborne vibration
(contrary to underground explosions)
Building response
Vibration measured in several wooden one-family houses
The faades are sensitive (right) to heavy weapon sound pressure (left) which has a maximum at low frequencies

Damage risk vs. annoyance
Vibration is strongest on large
and structurally mobile surfaces:
outer walls, roof, intermediate
floors, windows
Annoyance (vibration and rattle)
is caused by the vibration of these
structures
Damage risk of foundations is
measured directly from foundations
Shooting vibration (e.g. damage risk of windows)
can and shall also be assessed by measuring
incident noise level outside the house

Assessed parameters
Noise:
Measurements of incident sound level outside the building
Structural damage: unweighted sound exposure level LpZE
Annoyance: C-weighted sound exposure level LpCE LpCE is widely used in Europe and the US for assessing noise annoyance of
heavy weapons
Vibration:
Structural damage: peak vibration velocity vpeak Widely used to assess damage risk from blasting and excavation
Measured from foundations of buildings
Annoyance: Wm-weighted vibration velocity exposure level LvWE ISO 2631-2 Mechanical vibration and shock Evaluation of human exposure to
whole-body vibration Vibration in buildings
Reference level: 50 nm/s
Adaptation of European guidelines for rail traffic vibration annoyance

Measurement result summary
The damage risk criteria were not exceeded in any of the residential buildings
The annoyance criteria for noise (and vibration) was exceeded in several residential buildings
Floor and facade vibration measurement results only represent the measured structures
The range of structural mobility is large
Based on our findings, both damage risk and annoyance may be assessed via noise measurements
Proposed guideline values:
damage risk
Proposed guideline values for the assessment of damage risk: Noise: incident sound exposure level outdoors LpZE 125 dB Vibration: peak vibration velocity, foundations vpeak 5 mm/s
Proposed guideline values:
annoyance
Proposed guideline values for the assessment of annoyance caused by vibration, rattle and noise: Vibration: Wm-weighted vibration velocity exposure level of floors LvWE 76 dB Noise + rattle: C-weighted sound exposure level, outdoors, single event LpCE 100 dB (= FDF noise guideline value) The FDF guideline value for noise assessment :
Noise: Average active day LAeq,r (+10 dB impulse correction) LAeq,r 55 dB
Damage-safe distance
Artillery, single shot 300 m Artillery, volley (+10 dB) 1 km Distance at which a 130 mm cannon produces LpZE 125 dB
Determination of distance:
Emission measured obliquely forward (~ 45) Full +6 dB ground reflection, r2 point-source divergence No barriers, hills, soft ground etc. taken into account Measurement results of emission and immission agreed
well in the example pilot project Impact noise close to muzzle blast (within a few dB) Estimate +10 dB applies to exposure levels, not to peak
Safety distance of 1 km for artillery

Inside the envelope, shooting noise does not exceed the damage criterion LpZE 125 dB at the houses
