MAGNITUDE OF THE AIRPORT NOISE PROBLEM IN THE UK - AN APPLICATION OF THE NOISE BURDEN FACTOR
By using as an example the results obtained from the impact analysis of 11 airport noise environments in the UK (for peak period operations in 1972/3), a comparative assessment of each airports' relative good neighborliness is made using the concept of a noise burden factor. The underlying notions of equity implied (disbenefit/benefit ratio) and the importance of a critical threshold Noise and Number Index level below which any community annoyance is discounted are discussed in the light of any potential for further airport development. The results provide a good estimate of the magnitude of community annoyance due to air transport in the UK.
