U.S.: Aviation Noise Policy

The FAA invites public comments to review and suggest updates to the agency’s civil aviation noise policy. The policy sets forth how the agency analyzes, explains, and publicly presents changes in noise exposure impacts from aviation activity, including unmanned aircraft systems, spacecraft, and emerging technology aircraft. The FAA specifically seeks comments on how revisions to the policy may improve agency decisions regarding community annoyance and health issues, and to suggest how the agency can better manage and respond to a community’s aviation noise concerns. Comments on the policy review are due by July 31.
