Aviation Noise

The FAA’s Community Education series was created to help the public better understand our complex National Airspace System, the part the FAA plays in addressing and mitigating issues related to noise, and how advancements further innovation and increase efficiencies in aviation. Here, we discuss how sound and noise are defined and measured, what the FAA and aviation industry are doing to address noise, and how communities can collaborate with the FAA on aviation noise-related concerns.
