Noisy equipment and processes are found throughout military operations, exposing service members to risks of hearing damage due to hazardous noise levels. This article provides an overview of the military noise environment for the non-expert and provides a general characterization of the noise by source type and operational category. The focus of the article is primarily related to the Army, but the same, or similar, equipment is used by the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Damage risk criteria used by the Army Public Health Command are discussed. In addition, the important role of hearing protection to mitigate the hazards of noise exposure is provided.
在军事行动中可以发现各种嘈杂的设备和流程，这使得军人面临因危险噪声水平而导致听力受损的风险。本文为非专业人士概述了军事噪声环境，并按声源类型和作业类别对噪声进行了一般性描述。本文的重点主要与陆军相关，但海军、海军陆战队和空军也使用相同或类似的设备。本文还讨论了陆军公共卫生司令部使用的损伤风险标准，并提供了减轻噪声暴露危害的听力保护的重要作用。
