Popis: Environmental noise from aviation represents a significant health burden for citizens and a major constraint to airport development. Industry has responded through noise abatement interventions, however research conducted in the ANIMA Project suggests non-acoustic factors are central to the human health response to noise, and that many of these factors can be influenced by airports engaging with their communities. This paper presents the results of a series of case studies seeking to understand the state of the art in noise communications undertaken by European Member State airports, comparing them to what the literature suggests is ‘Best Practice’. Current practices are found to be comprehensive, but lacking in a number of key areas, suggesting the industry can enhance the quality of its communication activities and have a positive influence on the role of non-acoustic factors in driving noise annoyance.
