[quote=Anonymous]This is a really great article even if a bit old from the National Quiet Skies Coalition.

The Impact of Airport Noise on Residential Real Estate:

* dB measures don’t fully capture the noise effects because they don’t capture the annoyance or frequency for example (oh, that whistling early morning plane set)

* There are only three ways to mitigate noise: (1) quiet the source, (2) put more distance between the source of the noise and the receptor, and (3) build or create a barrier to the noise.

* Journal of Transport, Economics and Policy, utilizes hedonic regression to show that NNI 50 properties sustain a diminution in value ranging from approximately - 7% to -12%. While tremendous economic benefits and revenues clearly are associated with a large airport, those under or nearby the flight path tend to suffer a net negative impact.

* (A but extreme but I had no idea this happened). There are many instances where adequate noise mitigation was simply not possible and the highest and best use was indeed impacted. For example, large residential neighborhoods were demolished near Los Angeles International, Sea-Tac, and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airports. At the Las Vegas International Airport, a large subdivision, with noise levels under the 65 DNL levels established by the FAA were purchased and subsequently rented by the County.

And so on…

A really good read.
