Peer-Reviewed Report on Measuring Metrics and Thresholds
This bill requires the Department of Transportation to enter into an agreement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to produce a report that identifies and recommends a system of measuring aviation noise.
This measurement system must, with a highly reliable relationship, categorize noise levels to determine compatibility for residential areas and high annoyance areas based on appropriate metrics. In addition, it must (1) have a highly reliable relationship between projected noise exposure and surveyed reactions of individuals, and (2) be applied uniformly in measuring noise at airports and the surrounding area.
