Despite the fact that plans are in the works to move the Cincinnati Police Department gun range from its long-time location in Evendale, concern continues in the surrounding neighborhoods about the ongoing health impacts of the noise from the range. WCPO-TV interviewed some people who live near the range who say their children didn't want to play outside because of the fear of the sound of gunshots.
WCPO-TV also interviewed Brian Earl, PhD, of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the UC College of Allied Health Sciences for this story. In 2020, Earl was invited by community leaders in Lincoln Heights to run some tests on the noise level in the immediate area. He was shocked how loud the gunshots were.
