LAKEHURST – According to the noise calendar for December, the last half of the month will have many “silent nights.”
The Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst calendar showed that the loudest days of the month are past. This was described as “abundant noise” which might include such things as mortars, howitzers, and cratering charges. These were only on December 3 and 4. There were several “moderate noise” days throughout the first half of the month.
The rest of the month is “slight noise,” meaning small arms fire and rifles. December 18, and every day after that, is expected to be slight noise.
Weather conditions can cause the noise to spread farther than expected.
