Airport community noise exposure to jet aircraft takeoff and landing activity at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has been extensively measured and documented. However, the noise instrusion problems due to overflights of jet aircraft in the approach and departure air routes over the communities of the Los Angeles metropolitan area have largely been ignored. Preliminary measurements indicate that in at least 10 peripheral residential communities (at distances up to 15 miles from LAX) the noise levels caused by jet aircraft overflights exceed 20 dB(A) above the average ambient‐noise levels. There are four major approach and departure corridors to LAX with a total number of 500 commercial jet aircraft overflights each 24 hours. Many communities are thus subjected to about 100 overflights during the peak traffic periods (about three hours duration). As a result, hundreds of thousands of individuals are subjected to a significant noise annoyance every two minutes for sustained periods. In most of these ... |
