Abstract
Fireworks are used all over the world to celebrate special occasions. Noise produced by firecrackers that are used to celebrate these occasions has been highlighted. This impulse type of noise can cause hearing damage. Noise measurements of firecrackers show that they produce high sound pressure peak levels. Typical firecracker impulse noise levels are given. Noise limits and measurement methods used for the fireworks in some countries are presented.
