The Marine Corps Base Quantico has issued noise advisories from Feb. 14 – Feb. 21. from ground/aircraft training or range clearance operations.

The schedule for operations is:

Friday- Feb. 14 Live-fire training is scheduled from 6:30 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.

Saturday- Feb. 15 Live-fire training is scheduled from 12:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Tuesday- Feb. 18 Demolitions, live-fire and ammunitions training is scheduled from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Wednesday- Feb. 19 Live-fire and ammunitions training is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

"Aircraft supporting training or support to other agencies from the Marine Corps Air Facility at Quantico can also generate noise," a base official said. "The frequency and number of aircraft supporting training can occasionally generate higher volumes of noise."

Residents throughout western Prince William County could potentially hear reverberations due to atmospheric conditions, which can amplify aircraft noise volume.
