How to file a noise complaint

Airport noise How to file aircraft noise complaints 
Aircraft noise Complaints are important and can determine where airplane fly on the way to Regan Airport. The reason we are getting so much noise from overhead aircraft is that some other locations generated a large number of complaints about noise. If we don’t complain in sufficient numbers the authorities will think everything is ok and make no changes to the path aircraft take to Regan Airport. Noise from low flying aircraft reduces your property values and can affect your health. You can go to this Web site to complain about airplane noise. Register, read and follow instructions.

“Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Reagan National Airport As a public service, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority’s Noise Information Office receives complaints regarding aircraft noise near Reagan National and Dulles International airports then forwards the complaints to airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Each submission is counted as a single complaint. Noise complaints are public records subject to the Airports Authority's Freedom of Information Policy. However, the following personal information is redacted prior to release: Name, Street Address, Telephone Numbers, Email” 
==============================================================
For those of you who are posting complains about the noise, we must realize if we are to get any relief, we will have to get our neighborhoods who accept the noise without complaining to complain. The primary reason we are getting aircraft noise where there was never airplane noise is that other communities generated a sufficient number of complaints to get the attention of the FAA.

The method I prefer to use to file noise complaints is the Airnoise.io button. When you hear an airplane, you push the button. The device sends information to a cloud computer. The computer computes the distance the aircraft is from your home. The altitude of the plane. The tail number of the plane, etc. The computer inserts the time and sends this data to the FAA noise complaints database. A very simple way to file a noise complaint. If I had to research this information, it would take me at least 20 minutes per complaint: 

This information was taken from the airnoise web site. .....An easy way to file airport noise complaints. "Airnoise.io provides the simplest, fastest ways to make your voice heard, to help your community, and get your life back..... Airport authorities don't make it easy to file noise complaints, but we do. With the click of a button, instantly locate loud, bothersome flights, automatically file a complaint, and get back to the things that matter to you......When aircraft noise bothers you, just click the Airnoise button....We search for commercial aircraft causing noise near you....We gather detailed information needed to file a noise complaint....The complaint is instantly filed for you with the airport authority... Airnoise.io for free for 30 days, cancel any time.... “ I purchase the Airnoise.io button device and it does everything they say it would. .  For $24 one time and $5 per month you get a small device (an Amazon AWS button).

For those of you who are one the fence, there was an article in the Washington Post on Dec. 18, 2018, that describe how airnoise.io works. The link for the article is:

House Members Vote to Ensure Safe, Efficient Travel in FAA Reauthorization Bill

  House Members Vote to Ensure Safe, Efficient Travel in FAA Reauthorization Bill    [WASHINGTON D.C., JULY 19, 2023] – This evening, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to protect safe and efficient air travel by opposing an effort to add more flights to the already at-capacity Reagan National Airport [DCA]. CPARA and its nearly 150 members nationwide commend the Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle who voted to ensure safety, limit delays and cancellations, and protect regional access to the nation’s capital for communities across the country. As the issue moves to the Senate, substantial and growing opposition to adding more flights at DCA will ensure that Congress passes the critically needed FAA Reauthorization bill on time.     Tonight’s vote in the House is another example of the growing consensus that DCA is already at capacity, and that more flights will increase delays, cancellations, congestion, and safety concerns at what is...

FAA Website What is NextGen?

What is NextGen? NextGen is the FAA-led modernization of our nation’s air transportation system. Its goal is to increase the safety, efficiency, capacity, predictability, and resiliency of American aviation. This overhaul brings together innovative technologies, capabilities, and procedures that improve how we fly from departure to arrival. Airlines,  general aviation  operators, pilots, and  air traffic controllers gain better information and tools that help passengers and cargo arrive at their destinations more quickly, while aircraft consume less fuel and produce fewer  emissions . This transformation is being achieved through an ongoing rollout of improvements which began in 2007. NextGen remains on target to have all major components in place by 2025. The modernization of the National Airspace System is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in U.S. history. https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/what_is_nextgen/ ---------------------------...

We want the FAA to use its satellite technology to revert to the flight paths of the pre-NextGen routes

The residents of Accokeek, Fort Washington, Bensville and Bryans Road are experiencing intolerable noise due to the FAA NextGen choice of flight paths. When I moved here, there was no airport noise.  In the past three years, there has been a deterioration in our quality of life caused by the loud noise and emissions from jet engines from the numerous aircraft that fly over our communities every day. We can no longer enjoy our outdoor activities, sunrooms, patios, cookouts and summer events. The noise started in 2014 and has gotten worse with time. This increased noise was caused by the FAA decisions to implement the NextGen program. The FAA has become a government agency controlled by the Airlines. The FAA is using its discretionary power to save the Airlines money and pushing the cost to our communities. For every dollar the Airline save with NextGen we pay a cost, lower property values and problems with our health. Four communities that have the greatest excessive aircraft n...

Against Beltway Expansion

[PGSC Climate Action] Join Me in Speaking Out Against the Beltway Expansion Our community's health and future are on the line. On October 15th, the Transportation Planning Board will vote on the "Southside Project," a massive beltway expansion that would increase air pollution and traffic in our neighborhoods. I shared in my testimony, this isn't just about traffic, it's personal. I was diagnosed with environmentally triggered asthma at the age of 37, a condition worsened by vehicle pollution. This expansion would fill our air with more harmful pollutants like PM2.5 and ozone, which are known to aggravate respiratory conditions and pose a risk to all of us. But our voices can make a difference. The board needs to hear how this project will impact real people. Will you join me in writing a letter? Share your own story, whether it's concerns about your family's health, the dangerous traffic on roads like MD-210, or the need for better transit options instead...
