What’s Behind the Loud Booms Heard in Ocean County?

If you're new to Ocean County, you're probably wondering why there's so much noise all day.

It's Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst training sessions that have been causing rumbles and booms across the area.

Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst posts a noise calendar every month to warn residents of the noise level when they train.

Throughout the year, the facility conducts a variety of training activities, ranging from in-flight training to practice firing mortars and other explosives. Training sessions can last late into the evening.

Weather circumstances, as well as the type of explosives training being conducted, influence how far and loudly the training can be heard and felt.
