The three pillars of aircraft noise:
Politics. Money. Lobbyists.
It's not rocket science.
The FAA may claim that those who experience aircraft sounds as annoyance are "noise sensitive people" but where are their studies to back up such claims?
This is ludicrous given there is an avalanche of scientific and medical evidence proving aircraft noise damages humans as the FAA's very own study cites, below:
FAA funded study: ". . .results provide evidence of a statistically significant association between exposure to aircraft noise and cardiovascular health." The FAA knew of the health implications from their very own study. View report.
Suffering from aircraft noise? File a complaint directly to the FAA's aircraft noise complaint portal. But don't stop there, also file a complaint with your regional FAA Ombudsperson. If you get no response file a complaint with your congressional representative, pointing them to the FAA Re-authorization Act of 2018 section 180: regional Ombudsperson, which requires the FAA to make Ombudspersons available to the general public since 2019.
If you get no response or an unsatisfactory response from your congressperson tweet their lack thereof to the entire Quiet Skies Caucus, and beyond. Here are the twitter handles of the entire Quiet Skies Caucus.
