$300,000 For Noise Study?
Can someone please tell me how a noise study costs $300,000?:
Officials will test effects of aircraft noise and vibration at 60 locations near Osan Air Base and 40 near Camp Humphreys, Han said. The U.S. military reportedly will aid the study by providing information about the path and frequency of its flights to and from the bases, Han said.
Also planned are medical check-ups on 2,000 people living near the bases. Officials will check residents’ hearing, cardiovascular condition, and stress levels — 20 items in all — and monitor each over a two-month period starting later this month, Han said.
Officials at U.S. Forces Korea headquarters in Seoul and at Osan Air Base and Camp Humphreys had no immediate information Friday on the noise study or the U.S. military’s reported role in it.
Camp Humphrey’s literally has homes adjacent to the fence line near the flight line. Of course there is going to be noise. Don’t build your home adjacent to a flight line and then complain about noise. Osan and Humphrey’s have been operating for over 50 years, now people are having side effects from aircraft noise? Why doesn’t anyone complain about the ROK Air Force’s planes?
