Noise Monitoring

Environmental noise, broadly defined as noise caused by transport, industrial and recreational activities, is generally present in some form in all areas of human activity. The problems arise when these levels reach points that negatively impact one's quality of life.

As a result of a $1.4 million investment in 2013 and collaborative effort between CACNR and Centennial Airport, strategically placed pole-mounted noise monitors were placed in various locations in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The noise monitors continue to provide local officials with a more accurate picture than ever before of the aural disturbances in various communities.

The data gathered from the noise monitors is used to evaluate noise abatement methods and to develop aircraft departure and arrival procedures that minimize the impact of aircraft noise based upon altitude, flight path and time of day.


Noise 101

Noise 101 is a guide to the components of an airport and its surrounding communities - how they complement one another, how they work together and how they address issues that arise.

The Noise 101 Guide addressed the physical facility, legal guidelines, impact studies, glossary of terms and land use guidelines, all components that a Noise Roundtable uses to guide their noise mitigation process.

N.O.I.S.E.

National Organization to Insure a Sound Controlled Environment

N.O.I.S.E. is an excellent resource for the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable, assisting them with the draft Memorandum of Understanding, funding structure documents and sources of CACNR funding.

WHO WE ARE

At N.O.I.S.E., we've served for 40 years as America's only nation-wide, community based association composed of local elected officials representing millions of Americans across the country, committed to reducing the impact of aviation noise on local communities.

OUR MISSION

We are committed to reducing the impact of aviation noise on local communities by partnering with communities to join and inject the concerns of their constituents into the national debate on airport expansion and other issues relating to the effects of aviation noise.

Noise Abatement Guidelines

The Centennial Noise Roundtable promotes safe, standardized and uncomplicated procedures that are effective in reducing noise exposure. Working with Centennial Airports’ Fly Quiet Program the Roundtable supports a voluntary noise abatement program that is designed to help minimize the impact of airport and aircraft noise through the use of pilot education and awareness.

The Noise Abatement Guideline brochure was developed for pilots as a reference to quiet flight and operating procedures.The brochures are distributed to pilots, flight schools and air traffic controllers, containing information on preferred runways and fight tracks which route traffic over the least populated areas. These are vetted suggestions for a program that does remain voluntary.
