Abstract

The intensity of civil aircraft flights elevates with the increase in the number of passenger and cargo transportation by air. Aircraft noise in the residential area near airports grows up too despite the use of low-noise aircraft models by airlines. This causes an augmentation in the number of complaints of the population in these areas. The Russian Federation’s normative and methodological documents requirements in force relating to measurements and assessment of noise in residential areas, including "aircraft noise", were analyzed. Their requirements in terms of measuring and assessing noise in residential areas, including “aircraft noise”, testifies to the insufficiency and ambiguity of these requirements. The main disadvantages are the lack of a clear definition of which sound event is considered «aircraft noise» and the lack of requirements for the duration of the reference time interval of noise measurement. The foreign experience of measuring and evaluating aircraft noise, as well as the effects of such noise on the population, are considered. This made it possible to determine the necessary and sufficient parameters for noise control in residential areas, including «aircraft noise». There were proposed both a definition of «aircraft noise» and the necessary parameters for its assessment. The necessary duration of the reference time interval for the measurement of normalized parameters was justified. Method for the normalized noise parameters in residential areas measurement using the chronograms of sound levels A was proposed. The technical implementation of such a method is presented. Proposed a definition of «aircraft noise» and measuring normalized parameters in the 15-minute reference time interval for inclusion in regulatory and methodological documents will help to eliminate ambiguity in measurements and noise assessment in residential areas.
