This book was released on 2015 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals throughout the United States have recently begun to recognize the immediate threat of a new type of pollution, aircraft noise. Levels of aircraft noise to which people are being subjected are reaching intolerable levels. Enforceable anti-noise regulations and solutions are becoming an essential part of the American society. Numerous neighborhoods are beginning to characterize peace and quiet as a nostalgic memory of the past. This discourse will deal with the largest polluter directly involved with aircraft noise, the jet airplane. In particular, a discussion will be initiated concerning those aircraft associated with John F. Kennedy International Airport which is locate in New York City. In the discussion of John F. Kennedy International Airport, various aspects of aircraft noise pollution will be introduced. Numerous individuals hypothesize that the solutions to aircraft noise prevention are very unsophisticated. But, these are the hypothetical views of those people who are not directly involved with problem Aircraft noise pollution is a very complex problem and it must be thoroughly understood before an individual may suggest any possible solutions. The context of this paper will follow a sequential procedure which must be pursued and comprehended if the problem of aircraft noise is to be regulated. First, a discussion to develop an understanding of the measurements and standards used when discussing aircraft noise will be presented. Also, a few of the practices and national policies which have been created to deal with the problem will be examined. Due consideration will also be given to a discussion of the possible psychophysiological reactions people have to aircraft noise. Thus, after the problem has been established, we will learn where to attack the noise problem and what factors be must be considered in the appraisal that is being conducted. Finally, the discourse will introduce the suggested methods which have been created to alleviate aircraft noise. Emphasis will be placed upon such suggestions as the reduction of engine noise, traffic and flight operational considerations, and environmentally compatible land utilization. After reading the entire paper, an individual should be capable of grasping a true understanding of the complexity and seriousness of aircraft noise. It is the purpose of the paper to establish a feeling for the problem of aircraft noise pollution, so that concerned human beings can intelligently discuss and suggest possible solutions for the following question. Is it possible to eliminate or control aircraft noise at John F. Kennedy International Airport so that a compatibility between the airport and the adjacent metropolitan environment might be established?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook should be of interest to airport managers and other staff from airports of all sizes who are responsible for responding to neighboring communities regarding aircraft noise issues. It provides guidance on how best to improve communications with the public about issues related to aircraft noise exposure. Specifically, the guidebook presents best practices that characterize an effective communications program and provides basic information about noise and its abatement to assist in responding to public inquiries. It also suggests tools useful to initiate a new or upgrade an existing program of communication with public and private stakeholders about noise issues. An accompanying CD-ROM contains a toolkit with examples of material that has been successfully used to communicate information about noise, as well as numerous guidance documents about noise and communications that have seldom been brought together in the same resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this handbook on a growing public menace, Clifford R. Bragdon applies acoustical engineering and social science to the least understood—yet one of the most serious—environmental hazards of modern society. This book is a precision tool; it gives facts and figures, precise scientific measurements, and accurate data on what noise is, what it does, and how to combat it. The author pinpoints the noise levels—many of them illegal—of automobiles, buses, subways, airplanes, household appliances, and children's toys in numerous charts and tables and relates these data to the measurable social, physical, and psychological damage they do to human beings. He catalogues the "noise-free" claims of manufacturers of these products in an Appendix that speaks for itself. A thorough case study of an area near Philadelphia International Airport and other townships, including five hundred households, the author evaluates existing noise abatement programs on local, state, and federal levels, and finds most of them seriously inadequate. As steps toward the solution to the noise crisis, he proposes a system for rating environmental health, new approaches to community noise management, and a variety of architectural suggestions. The bibliography—probably the most complete and up-to-date source collection on the subject ever assembled—is an invaluable reference work in itself. It lists over five hundred sources, arranged in six major categories: Noise, General; Physical Effects; Psycho-Social Effects; Law; Noise Abatement; and Noise Sources. Noise Pollution is indispensable not only for the concerned citizen but for all those who can, and must, take immediate and effective action in our unquiet crisis: urban planners, architects, hospital administrators, public health officials, transportation executives, lawyers, realtors, sound engineers, manufacturers of transportation equipment and household appliances, and community leaders. It is a vital resource in dealing with the noise crisis that is destroying pleasure, lowering work performance, eroding health, causing physical injury, and even challenging basic human survival.

Book excerpt: Aircraft noise effects on its environs have been a subject of discussion since the first aircraft jet took off into the skies some decades ago. To this end, airlines, aircraft and engine manufacturers, airports, and Federal, state and local governments have made substantial efforts to find ways to either reduce aircraft noise, or at best, make its impact manageable and acceptable to the airport neighbors. Hence, substantial resources have been devoted to the research and development of quieter aircraft engines, in addition to establishment of programs for existing engines and to develop noise compatibility projects. Also, to provide methods and formulae for predicting the annoyance effect of aircraft noise on the airport communities and to adequately study the health and other effects of aircraft noise on both humans and the environment. However, most of the these efforts were directed to major commercial airports with little or no consideration for reliever airports, as the latter was thought to be far away from major populated urban areas, with nothing but "cornfields and cows" as neighbors. As suburban sprawl continues to plague America, these airports that were once in the middle of nowhere are now experiencing the fast residential growth encroaching on them. Thus, the reliever airports are now becoming a source of major aircraft noise complaints. This thesis will examine aircraft noise abatement programs at reliever airports. It will use four reliever airports as a case study and to determine the effectiveness of the programs at each airport. In addition, it will examine the overall impact, if any, of the noise abatement programs on the individual airport community.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to provide an information base on the effects of aircraft noise and sonic booms on various animal species. Such information is necessary to assess potential impacts to wildlife populations from proposed military and other flight operations. To develop this document the National Ecology Center conducted a literature search of information pertaining to animals and wildlife. Information concerning other types of noise was also gathered to supplement the lack of knowledge on the effects of aircraft noise. The bibliographic abstracts in this report provide a compilation of current knowledge. No attempt was made to evaluate the appropriateness or adequacy of the scientific approach of each study. (sdw).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a view into the state-of-the-art research on aviation noise and related annoyance. The book will primarily focus on the achievements of the ANIMA project (Aviation Noise Impact Management through Novel Approaches), but not exclusively. The content has a broader theme in order to encompass. regulation issues, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) balanced approach, progresses made on technologies and reduction of noise at source, impact of possible future civil supersonic aircraft, land-use planning issues, as well as the core topics of the ANIMA project, i.e. impact on human beings, annoyance, quality of life, health and findings of the project in this respect. This book differs from traditional research programmes on aviation noise as the authors endeavour, not to lower noise at source, but to reduce the annoyance. This book examines these non-acoustic factors in an effort to help those most affected by aviation noise – communities living close to airports, and also help airport managers, policy-makers, local authorities and researchers to deal with this issue holistically. The book concludes with some recommendations for EU, national and local policy-makers, airport and aviation authorities, and more broadly a scientifically literate audience. These recommendations may help to identify gaps for progress in terms of research but also genuine implementation actions for political and regulatory authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses some effects of aircraft signals on a section of Sydney (Kingsford-Smith) Airport's proximate inhabitants. Response measurements of disturbance and annoyance due to aircraft signals, and of attitudes towards noise were obtained from a sample of 296 individuals, together with stimulus measurements of intensity, duration and frequency of aircraft signals at selected locations. The results of the study suggest that the manner in which people react to aircraft noise is more dependent on cultural and personal factors than on physical factors. But such determinants of reaction to aircraft noise have as yet to be isolated adequately. Detailed exploration of these suggested determinants is recommended.

Download or read book The Influence of Aircraft Noise Annoyance on Single family House Prices written by Hans-Werner Mary and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ever-increasing number of aircraft noise damage suits suggests that people fear for the devaluation of their properties. One of the main hindrances to successful litigation, however, is the difficulty of proving that noise has indeed caused a devaluation of single-family houses. The avallable literature is contradictory, though tending to favour the view that residential property values are not depreciated by aircraft noise. In a case study of the impact of the municipal airport in Edmonton, a new method is shown by which, with reasonable accuracy, the degree of noise annoyance can be calculated retroactively. Furthermore, the study area's socio-economic, locational and physical properties are traced back to the time from when sales data were collected, thus allowing a precise selection of noise- affected homes and their noise-free control counterparts. It was found that houses under the influence of aircraft noise appreciated in price faster than the quiet homes, even to the extent of a direct relationship: the noisier the house, the steeper the price slope (i.e. the greater the price increase). This result is supported to some degree by two questionnaires whose findings show that almost one-half of the people contacted do not mind the noise, and that used homes under a noise or flight path can easily be financed through conventional money sources. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that there is a need for a revised noise annoyance measurement system that will account for the presently neglected small airplanes, and which can incorporate meteorological data.
