Is this range next to a residential neighborhood? I probably wouldn't want to hear gunshots all the time either.

Seems like a nonissue to me. I've never heard gunfire when standing outside of most indoor ranges I've been to. Even though with rifle lanes. Maybe if I /tried/ to hear it I could, I dunno.
I grew up in the country with a lot of land between houses... you'd hear gunfire all the time but it wasn't LOUD LOUD... and I wager it isn't ever LOUD LOUD to the neighbors either.
At work, we do a lot of rezoning of properties when someone hires us for site development and building design. Every time you rezone, you have to put up a sign for, I believe 30 days, prior to the meeting with the council to approve the rezoning. There's always some ******* wanting to oppose it for the sake of opposing it because they'd rather an empty field be there. It's just selfishness, rarely based in fact.
People have opposed having a quiet office building for paperwork and clerks to work at without any involvement of the public. Just a simple office building, single floor, looking like an oversized residential house. Just a place for a cube farm and some office so they could do the admin work for a bunch of field-workers in the home-medicine industry. People still complained. Said it would be "noisy" and that it would increase traffic dramatically and came up with all sorts of complaints.
A gun range just /seems/ more likely that the complaints are true... I'm sure it's ********. It was apparently already a gun range, it just closed after Katrina.

Doesn't really surprise me too much. The range is along side a residential area and hasn't been in operation in a very long time. If the range was fairly quiet before, people probably don't remember it being quiet. Most of the people in the area probably have moved in since Katrina, Arabi got it bad and just like the rest of St. Bernard a lot of people left.
I've been to the range, its in pretty bad shape, but enough work and money can fix almost anything. That said, it is going to take a pretty nice sugar daddy to get the thing spray foamed cleaned, remodeled, etc. my opinion of Brannon aside, its hard to argue that a range in Arabi is bad for the gun community in St. Bernard.

If they do it right you won't hear anything outside. I just left FITS this morning and there was at least 6 people shooting. I couldn't hear the tiniest pop until I stepped inside. I was listening very hard for the sound barrier too! 
Do you think they go faster the farther they go?
LOL. Not sure really. Just thought they had to travel a certain distance or at a certain speed to break the sound barrier. Isn't that the difference between supersonic and subsonic.
I remember from back in the day that:
S= Super
U=Unique
P= for perfection cuz you no dat we is freaks!
E= for exotic
R...... you know the song.
Seriously though....

Breaking the sound barrier has nothing to do with distance traveled, only speed traveled. If you shot a rifle and the projectile only went 1 inch from the muzzle but was going 2600 fps, its still breaking the sound barrier. A subsonic projectile is just one that never is traveling faster than (about) 1080fps.

At 50 yds you probably would not be able to separate the muzzle blast from the sonic 'crack'. At 600 you can easily hear the bullet crack as it goes over then the bang of the muzzle blast reaches you later. .223 .308 and similiar with a MV of 2600 - 3000 in the 600 yd example.

I'm looking forward to it I always think gun ranges are a positive move for a community.
Yeah, as long as it is safe, I could not imagine it a bad thing. Kind of a risky move given the overall uncertainty in the "gun business" as a whole.
