  2. Aircraft noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_noise_pollution

    Noise-generating aircraft propeller. Aircraft noise is noise pollution produced by an aircraft or its components, whether on the ground while parked such as auxiliary power units, while taxiing, on run-up from propeller and jet exhaust, during takeoff, underneath and lateral to departure and arrival paths, over-flying while en route, or during landing.

  3. Noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_control

    Industrial noise control is a subset of interior architectural control of noise, with emphasis on specific methods of sound isolation from industrial machinery and for protection of workers at their task stations. Sound masking is the active addition of noise to reduce the annoyance of certain sounds, the opposite of soundproofing.

  4. Noise Control Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_Control_Act

    The Noise Pollution and Abatement Act of 1972 is a statute of the United States initiating a federal program of regulating ... for a treatment of aviation related noise.

  5. Standard instrument departure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Instrument_Departure

    Although a SID will keep aircraft away from terrain, it is optimized for air traffic control route of flight and will not always provide the lowest climb gradient. It strikes a balance between terrain and obstacle avoidance, noise abatement (if necessary), and airspace management considerations.

  6. Hush kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hush_kit

    Modern aircraft equipped with mid and high-bypass turbofan engines are designed to comply with contemporary aviation noise abatement laws and ICAO regulations. Several older aircraft that are still in service (typically in a cargo capacity) have hush kits retrofitted so that they are able to conform with noise regulations needed to operate in ...

  7. Quota Count system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quota_Count_system

    The quieter the aircraft the smaller the QC value. Aircraft are classified separately for landing and take-off. Take-off quota count values are based on the average of the certificated flyover and sideline noise levels at maximum take-off weight, with 1.75 EPNdB added for Chapter 2 aircraft. Landing quota count values are based on the ...

  8. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

    The FAA also pursues a program of aircraft noise control in cooperation with the aviation community. [112] The FAA has set up a process to report for anyone who may be impacted by aircraft noise. [113] The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed noise regulations to control highway noise as required by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of ...

  9. Noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_measurement

    Noise measurement can also be part of a test procedure using white noise, or some other specialized form of test signal.In audio systems and broadcasting, specific methods are used to obtain subjectively valid results in order that different devices and signal paths may be compared regardless of the inconsistent spectral distribution and temporal properties of the noise that they generate.
