Aircraft noise is a natural byproduct of an incredible human achievement which is "Powered Flight". From jet engines to propeller trainers, each aircraft leaves a sound signature that reflects its design, purpose, and path. While these sounds can sometimes be disruptive, especially in low-altitude or high-traffic areas, understanding their patterns helps communities, pilots, and planners make informed decisions. By exploring the sources and effects of aircraft noise, we open the door to better technology, smarter flight routes, and more balanced skies for everyone.

Aircraft noise

Why excessive aircraft noise is hamful

Effect to health

Studies have shown that there are direct links between noise and health: sleep disturbance, stress and anxiety, social annoyance, cognitive impairment and many others.

Noise pollution adversely impacts the lives of people in multiple ways, that does not just include health, but in other ways as well.

Work and Schools

Post pandemic, working from home has become more common, several companies are in fact fully remote. Overhead airplane noise make calls / meetings, and focusing a lot harder. Same holds true for students at schools in the vicinity.

Lead pollution

On 10/1823 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its final determination that emissions of lead from aircraft that operate on leaded fuel cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare under the Clean Air Act.

Home values

Approximately 300K people across 3 cities are impacted by noise from Livermore Airport. The negative impact of aircraft noise on home values is well established. Unfortunately the location of the airport impacts not only Livermore, but Dublin and Pleasanton residents as well
