A PROPOSED SYSTEM FOR AVIATION NOISE MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL

This report reviews previous work on various measures for aviation noise, and proposes a completely new system for aviation noise measurement and control compatible with real time, operational noise monitoring hardware. This new system allows new methods of control and regulation to be introduced, and is designed to cover problems arising from future CTOL, RTOL, STOL, and VTOL aviation systems operating from current airports as well as new urban sites. New measures are proposed for aircraft flyover noise, airport noise exposure, and community noise impact.
