Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) noise regulations

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sets noise regulations to manage and minimize the impact of aircraft noise on communities. These rules establish acceptable noise levels around airports, control flight paths, and determine operating procedures for aircraft during takeoff and landing. The goal is to balance the needs of air travel with public noise concerns, protecting residents from excessive disturbance. The FAA conducts studies and works with local governments to implement strategies, such as noise barriers and curfews, to help reduce noise pollution while ensuring safe and efficient air travel.
