Can't even keep my windows open sometimes, the noise is constant.

If its constant, the noise must be the sound of the cars on the elevated portions of the Meadowbrook. Freeport is over 4 miles from Merrick Woods.

Freeport Police pretty much only use that range. But yeah. It's a gun range.

At the Freeport BJs someone should erase the letters "port" from their sign

I live in Bellmore and I hear gunshots ALL the time. My father told me it was people hunting ducks... Is there any truth to that? The Freeport Revolver and Rifle Association is actually a really nice place. They have a VFW type hall where you can have parties at an affordable price. There are also sketchy people where I live who shoot off Fireworks every celebration... I mean why do we need fire works for New Years? And Christmas? And Thanksgiving? So it might be a combination of all of the above.

Surprisingly duck hunting is very popular in this area and many people complain about the noise.

Why would you be suprised that duck hunting was popular in a waterfront community? Can you beleive people fish, crab and clam in the area also? What I don't beleive is why would anyone want to eat one of those ducks?

You can hear the gun range in the Gables depending on the wind direction.
