  LAKEHURST – If you happen to hear loud booms in the area, don’t be alarmed – it’s the soldiers training at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL).

  Every month, JBMDL releases their “Noise Level Calendar” so residents know when to expect mild or severe noise. This is to deter calls to local 911 dispatchers. The calendar is labeled with three different levels of noise: slight noise, moderate noise and abundant noise.

  Most days in March are scheduled for “moderate noise.” However, there are several days scheduled for “high noise” which includes March 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.

  Noise levels are subject to change without notice due to training requirements and weather, JBMDL said.
