What can be done to control the noise of aircraft using the airport?

Through the Part 150 process, airport operators may consider a variety of different strategies to reduce noise. Changes in operational procedures such as take-offs or landings or routing flight paths over less noise sensitive areas can lower noise levels.

In the present study, six noise reduction strategies including the optimization of aircraft type, regulation of number of night flights, flight procedure, modification of operating runway, land use planning and the installation of sound insulation windows were proposed to reduce the impacts of aircraft noise on the ...

Some airports around the world use fines or impose noise taxes in order to encourage airlines to adopt quieter aircraft [15]. Sound insulation measures for surrounding buildings taken by several airports in Spain were able to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on communities [16].

When air passes over the aircraft's airframe, it causes friction and turbulence, which results in noise. Planes land with their flaps down which creates more friction and produces more noise than a plane with its flaps up.

Examples include redistribution of takeoffs and landings to increase runway capacity; reduction of air traffic movements through allowing operations of aircraft with greater capacity; deployment of new technologies to increase runway capacity; and by means of new operational procedures, changing the aircraft waiting ...

The movements of aircraft (airborne and on the ground) are controlled by air traffic control from a control tower. While at some airports controllers will have ground radar to assist them, most direction is done by sight. This includes making sure that ground vehicles are safely separated from aircraft.

Noise from a plane is caused by two things: by air passing over its airframe, the fuselage and wings, and by the engines.

When deciding either window or aisle seat, the window is found to be the loudest on the plane. While aisle seats are quieter, do note there's also a higher chance that other passengers from the inner seats might interrupt you if they need to go to the washroom.
