NOISE ABATEMENT AND SAFETY INFORMATION

FAA Releases Noise Annoyance Survey Results

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released the results of a survey about local communities and the level of public annoyance with aircraft noise, known as the Noise Annoyance Survey results, and formally identified as the Neighborhood Environmental Survey (NES). ACI-NA has been actively monitoring and discussing a comprehensive strategy for the release of this survey for nearly three years.

Here are direct links to the survey and the resources released by the FAA today.

FAA’s survey team used a statistical sampling methodology to choose 20 airports that are representative of airports from across the United States. While the study may draw focus to those 20 airports, the focus of FAA’s work is on a national level.
