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:

Attend the July Reagan National Community Working Group meeting. The FAA will discuss the health effects of noise on the human body.

  The Southern Maryland Fair Skies Coalition was founded to seek solutions to decrease aircraft noise and air pollution south of DCA. The most severely impacted neighborhoods are Accokeek (CDP), Bryans Road (CDP), Bennsville (CDP), and Fort Washington (CDP), Maryland. Most of us can hear noise from low-flying aircraft. We may think the noise is only a nuisance. “Noise is defined as “unwanted sound.” Aircraft noise is one, if not the most detrimental environmental effect of aviation. It can cause community annoyance, disrupt sleep, adversely affect children's academic performance, and increase cardiovascular disease risk in people in the vicinity of airports.” - National Institute of Health (NIH) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5437751/ You may want to attend the July Reagan National Community Working Group meeting.
