Noise Management

“We wanted to reach out to our noise-impacted community in an innovative, proactive way. The enhanced version of AirportMonitor allows us to communicate the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of noise events immediately, online, and within a compelling visual display of the airspace. It takes communication, dialogue and community interaction to a new level."
- Airport Noise Mitigation

Residents living near airports who are impacted by low-flying planes may communicate complaints to the local noise hotline or file a major lawsuit against the airport. With the number of these complaints continually rising, airports need noise operations monitoring systems that provide the coverage, protection and insurance against litigation. They also need effective ways to build good relations with the surrounding community. PASSUR’s solution provides both.

PASSUR noise operations data feeds have long been recognized as the gold standard of NOMS data, because of their accuracy, reliability and independent origin.

While other noise solutions call for multiple, complex and expensive sensor installations for flight track data, a single PASSUR radar installation can provide effective, comprehensive noise data.

Real-time communication

PASSUR’s operational web dashboards and flight tracking tools allow for instant communication with airlines, corporate operators and ATC to mitigate noise events in real time.

Short-term use

For airports that do not need permanent noise monitors in the community, PASSUR also provides an effective, low-cost alternative to complex and expensive NOMS through its partnership with noise specialists HMMH (Harris Miller Miller Hanson).

Community relations

  • Local residents impacted by noise can log on to the airport site and obtain information about the offending aircraft for reporting.
  • Community airspace education and noise monitoring on the airport website, including real time messaging from the airport.
  • Detailed aviation statistics reporting to support noise analysis. Information includes carrier name, flight altitude and other details that help identify whether the aircraft is in violation.
