Living or working near a shooting range can be deeply distressing. The constant noise of gunfire disrupts daily life, disturbs sleep, affects children’s schoolwork, and creates ongoing anxiety. For those who have experienced gun violence, the sound can be retraumatising.
You have the right to live peacefully without excessive noise disturbance. South African law requires all shooting ranges to meet strict standards for location, noise control, and safety. Ranges should not be situated in residential areas.
If a shooting range near you is causing disturbance, you can take action.
