Noise

Within this section

Aircraft noise is a particularly emotive subject and can have a significant impact on quality of life for those people living close to airports or under flight paths, especially when penetrating aircraft noise results from 24 hour-a-day operations. Noise often causes annoyance and interferes with communication, children’s learning, and enjoyment of the outside world. It can also have health impacts including depression, sleep disturbance and hyptertension, which in turn may have serious consequences.
