A part of this documentation consists of posting your concerns on a map and grouping them with others so that we have a visual means of comparing this information with our flight track data and other information already on file. Finally, we'll try to identify the cause of your concern, then analyze it in terms of what can be done. If there is a reasonable solution, we'll find it, and we'll let you know. Sometimes things aren't nearly so frustrating when you understand them. Here are some things that we think everyone should know about aircraft noise.
Some aircraft noise is weather related.
You may notice an increase in noise levels when we use the north-south runway. We only use that runway when high winds from the north or south make landing on east-west runways hazardous. You may notice a difference because of the change in seasons. Prevailing winds vary from season to season and aircraft must land and takeoff into the wind. We live around the airport, too, and we're doing what we can to improve things.
