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:

health linked to the climate

Health and Well-being Under Threat Our health is directly linked to the climate. Rising temperatures create dangerous conditions and exacerbate existing health problems. Extreme Heat: More frequent and intense heatwaves increase the risk of heatstroke and dehydration. They also put significant strain on the cardiovascular system, which is especially dangerous for the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. Worsening Air Quality: Higher temperatures can increase ground-level ozone (smog), which damages lung tissue and can worsen conditions like asthma and bronchitis. Wildfires, made more common by climate change, also release massive amounts of harmful smoke into the atmosphere. 🔥 Spreading Diseases: Warmer climates allow disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes and ticks to expand their habitats. This increases the risk of illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and Lyme disease in new regions. 🦟 The Economic Cost 💰 Climate change hits our wallets ...

pgc climate action plan

  Prince George's County's Climate Action Plan (CAP) Prince George's County's Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience to climate change impacts. The plan, developed by the  Prince George's County Climate Action Commission , sets a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The plan includes 26 priority recommendations for county-wide climate action, focusing on both mitigation and adaptation strategies.  Key aspects of the plan include: Emissions Reduction: The plan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, aligning with state and regional goals.  Climate Resilience: The plan addresses the impacts of climate change —such as extreme heat, flooding, and severe storms —by integrating climate resilience into long-range planning and infrastructure development.  Community Engagement: The plan emphasizes a collabo...

The noise from overhead aircraft is constant on most days

The FAA direct over Accokeek approximately 70,000 aircraft a year using the north flow arrivals, approximately 200 airplanes a day. Most aircraft fly at an altitude of fewer than 2,500 feet over Accokeek. There is a waypoint at Bryan Road a few miles from the Prince George’s county line. Aircraft arrive at this waypoint no lower than 4,000 feet and turn into Accokeek and descend to approximately 2,500 feet. Some turn and follow the river to DCA; some go south through Bensville to La Plata. The aircraft make you turn and come back up through Bennsville and continue through Accokeek. Research indicates this emission from aircraft jet engines travels as far as 10 miles in every direction. I will provide evidence for this statement in my next post. Take a look at this Web Site (The Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment is a research lab in the MIT Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics). If you follow the link, you will see several articles discussing how aircraft emission ...

If you love your children, love your spouse and love your self you should read this article. Out of self-interest, you should get involved in organized opposition to the FAA implementation of the D.C. metroplex Regan North landing . The noise from overhead aircraft is constant on most days from approximately 6 am until midnight. The FAA direct over Accokeek approximately 70,000 aircraft a year using the north flow arrivals, approximately 200 airplanes a day. Most aircraft fly at an altitude of fewer than 2,500 feet. Research indicates this emission from aircraft jet engines travels as far as 10 miles in every direction. “The Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment is a research lab in the MIT Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics.” “Air pollution is responsible for millions of early deaths each year, and every human activity – from manufacturing to agriculture, to aviation – plays its part in this problem. As aviation grows as an industry, so too will the effec...
