I - Executive Summary
The research will deal with aviation noise but more specifically about airport noises, which is
one of the main factors for communities’ complaints around airports. Indeed, a constant
exposure to aircraft noises is negatively affecting health and quality of life of those living
around airports. In fact, the research will explain how the noise can lead to short-term effects
such as sleep disturbance, annoyance, and affecting learning, and long-term exposure is
associated with increased risk of high blood pressure, heart diseases etc. However, ICAO is
providing guidance for airlines/airports to minimize airports noises in order to reduce
community’s complaints.
