I received this information from Anne Hollander - Montgomery County Quiet Skies Coalition.
Subject: New Helicopter Noise Complaint System for National Capital Region
So many of us have been disturbed by low-flying helicopters. We finally got a method to file Helicopter noise complaints.

A 2021 report by the General Accounting Office (GAO), originally requested by Beyer and other members of the [Quiet Skies] Caucus, [including MD Representative Jamie Raskin], recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) “develop a mechanism to exchange helicopter noise information with operators in the D.C. area.” The just-announced pilot program was developed with this recommendation in mind and will be evaluated by FAA for potential permanent adoption after a 60-day trial run.
“It is important to note that this system is a pilot program, and its success depends on our community. Anyone with a helicopter noise complaint can submit it online at plainenoise.com/dcmetro/, by phone at 877-209-3200, or via mobile app. Providing as much information as possible when leaving a complaint is crucial – details will help to review and process the complaint.
