Smith & Wesson opened a new facility in the past couple of years. Not sure if they are manufacturing, but they are definitely making some noise.

Smith & Wesson Academy opened in September and includes a shoothouse, pistol range, flex range and rifle range. Instructor and former SEAL Chief Warrant Officer Mark T. Cochiolo oversees the courses offered there. As of publication, none of the academy’s nine listed courses were available for sign-up, though seven included course descriptions.

Those descriptions showed participants could receive between 200 and 400 rounds of ammunition per course. Former Louisville Mayor and attorney Tom Bickers said residents have complained about hearing thousands of rounds fired each day.

"The Industrial Development Board has implemented a process to actually measure that [weapons noise]. The equipment just came in last week, and so they are scheduled to go along the property line and measure."

It's unimaginable how disconcerting it would be to have firearms going off that many times a day where you can hear it from your front porch. Is Blount County losing it's luster? Someone should have to buy these people out so they can leave the noise behind.
