N2 - The short-duration large-amplitude impulsive noise from firearms and howitzers is characterized by a wide-band frequency content that distinguishes it from industrial noise sources. Therefore, the ISO 9613 standard which is based on the concepts of sound power and sound intensity, does not apply as such. The NordTest ACOU-099 standard based on sound pressure level, has been developed specifically for this purpose. Both approaches differ from ISO 17201 which is purposely developed for firearms and in which one considers the energy of the event and the energy density. The predicted sound attenuation during propagation through these standards is compared to on-site measurements to reveal the shortcomings stemming from neglection of the non-linear effects in the far-field of such potent noise sources.
