Effective airport noise management is crucial for minimising the impact of noise pollution on local communities and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. NLR can support you in assessing the noise load around an airport or heliport using noise mapping techniques, as well as evaluating and implementing new airport noise regulations. Our expertise can also help you update noise limits while communicating effectively with local communities.
Additionally, we can assist in updating land use planning policies, implementing noise abatement procedures and routes, and validating noise calculations using measurements.
NLR can support you with:
- Consultancy and support in rulemaking, policy, and regulation-related activities in the aviation, airport, and aircraft noise field, backed by extensive experience in Dutch, European, and international airport noise policy.
- Technical advice on noise levels and contours expressed in various metrics, including:
- Lden
- Lnight
- LAeq
- LAmax
- Number Above
- Time Above
- Expertise on low frequency noise levels and background noise levels.
- Consideration of Air Traffic Management (ATM) and safety restrictions in our guidance on airport noise policy and regulation.
