Several studies predict an increase up to 40% in traffic flights by the 2040. Airport noise control is a complicated procedure which creates an interesting blend of science, politics, and money. Accordingly, in many communities where airport noise is perceived as a significant problem, a noise control program is sometimes viewed as a continual process, rather than a discrete solution which will come to an end at some point in time.This work is an overview in the existing European low framework and the noise abatement procedure put in place to manage the aircraft noise.

Noise Models

Aircraft noise, especially at takeoffs and landings, became a major environmental nuisance and a health hazard for the population around metropolitan airports. In the battle for a better quality of life, wellbeing, and health, aircraft noise models are essential for noise abatement, control, enforcement, evaluation, policy-making, and shaping the entire aviation industry. Aircraft noise models calculate noise and exposure levels based on aircraft types, engines and airframes, aircraft flight paths, environment factors, and more. Validating the aircraft noise model is a mandatory step towards the model credibility, especially when these models play such a key role with a huge impact on society, economy, and public health. Yet, no validation procedure was offered, and it turns out to be a challenging task. The actual, measured, aircraft noise level is known to be subject to statistical variation, even for the same aircraft type at the same situation and flight phase, executing the same flight procedure, with similar environmental factors and at the same place. This study tries to validate the FAA’s AEDT aircraft noise model, by trying to correlate the specific flight path of an aircraft with its measured noise level. The results show that the AEDT noise model underestimates the actual noise level, and four validation steps should be performed to correct or tune aircraft noise databases and flight profiles.

The Impact

The aim of this research was to examine the impact of aircraft noise on communities near the Belgrade Airport by conducting short-term noise measurements. Apart from the noise abatement procedure published in the Aeronautical Information Publication for Belgrade Airport, there are still neither publicly available reports of the actual efforts made towards the aircraft noise reduction nor the description of the current noise situation. In order to estimate the current noise situation, eighteen aircraft overflight noise measurements were taken in two settlements in specific sound-sensitive community areas around the Belgrade Airport. The results showed that level differences between background noise and aircraft overflights were higher than 10 dB for each measurement and could be considered significant. Furthermore, preliminary compatibility analysis with acoustic zoning was performed. Average daily noise levels were estimated from these short-term measurements and were compared to legal noise limits for different acoustic zones. The results indicate that in some cases noise levels exceed the legal threshold, which should encourage land use planners to include the issue of Belgrade acoustic zoning on the agenda, but also prompt Belgrade Airport to implement continuous noise and flight tracks monitoring.

This article reports on the Zurich Aircraft Noise Index (ZFI), a noise eff ect index describing the integral eff ects of aircraft noise (annoyance and sleep disturbance) on the population in the vicinity of Zurich airport, integrating the considered noise eff ects to a single number valid for the whole airport. In the year 2007 the ZFI became operational as an eff ect-oriented monitoring tool serving noise abatement policy in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. During its development, various exposure–response relationships and parameter settings were studied as a basis to establish the official calculation rule. The official calculation rule was then applied to a time series of 12 years, and reasons for changes in the ZFI were studied by means of sensitivity analyses, taking into account the air traffic operations and population development around Zurich airport in great detail. The article presents the concept and implementation of the ZFI, its development, its application, and insights obtained so far. Based on the obtained results, the potential and limitations of the index to express the number of aff ected persons, its sensitivity to changes in population figures and air traffic as well as the possibilities to separate diff erent influencing parameters, and the scientific shortcomings of the index are discussed.
