Hearing Booms In Ocean County?

Joint Base Lakehurst, NJ

It's Training At The Joint Base

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.

The booms were heard and felt over a large area, prompting an alert from the Ocean County Sheriff's Department, which warned that the training would be heard and felt.

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.
