Q4: Who do I contact at the airport to talk about aircraft noise problems or submit a complaint?Ī: The Airports Authority's Noise Information Office is available to discuss noise concerns during normal business hours: Monday - Friday. Proposed locations need to be public land, easily accessible with access to power and communication utilities. Q3: What information is used to determine noise monitor locations?Ī: The noise monitor locations are selected in consultation with member jurisdictions of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and the airport's Noise Information Office. The primary objective of the noise monitoring system is to monitor historical trends experienced in neighboring communities as the result of aircraft and community noise contributions.

Q2: Why does the airport have noise monitors if they are not used to fine airlines?Ī: The first noise monitors were installed around Dulles International in 1978. See: Noise Monitoring System, IAD WebTrak. The noise monitors record all aircraft and community noise contributions including aircraft overflights, vehicles, lawnmowers. The Airports Authority currently owns, operates and maintains 34 noise monitors that are aligned with the primary flight corridors around Reagan National and Dulles International airports.
