aircraft noise

Aircraft noise is the sound generated by airplanes during flight, primarily from engines and aerodynamic effects. It can vary depending on the aircraft type, engine power, altitude, and proximity to the ground. Noise levels are measured in decibels and tend to be louder during takeoff and landing phases. Prolonged or intense noise can cause disturbance and impact quality of life for nearby residents. Airports often implement noise mitigation measures, such as flight path adjustments and quiet engine technology, to reduce the impact. Understanding aircraft noise involves considering aircraft design, operational practices, and environmental factors that influence how sound propagates through the atmosphere.
