		Aircraft noise disturbance is commonly measured as a function of the number of aircraft and the noise levels made by each, this provides the noise climate.
		The control of aircraft noise is complicated by the range of ownership and operation of aircraft, involving companies which may not have an office at the airport or even in a particular country.
		In addition, noise for the same aircraft varies depending on altitude, loading, weather and the nature by which it is flown by the pilot.

		Noise abatement procedures enable reduction of noise during aircraft operations to be achieved at comparatively low cost.
		Noise concerns have led some States, mostly developed countries, to consider banning the operation of certain noisy aircraft at noise-sensitive airports.
		For example, restrictions should be based on the noise performance of the aircraft and should be tailored to the noise problem of the airport concerned, and the special circumstances of operators from developing countries should be taken into account (Appendix E of Assembly Resolution A33-7).

		It was found that the (1) maximum noise level, (2) the number of noise events, and (3) the duration of the events (reflected in cumulative energy noise indices) correlated well with community annoyance response.
		Various studies have focused on the relationship between annoyance and noise exposure, one researcher, in analyzing the results of numerous social surveys conducted at major airports in several countries, derived the curves shown in Figure 3.1 relating degree of annoyance and percent of population affected with noise exposure expressed in DNL (Ref.
		Kryter suggests that because aircraft noise falls over a structure, like a house, equally, as opposed to passing through interfering structures as traffic noise would do (as in moving from the front to the back of a house), the "effective noise exposure" would be greater than that of traffic noise.

	Effects of Aviation Noise on Awakenings from Sleep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1992, the Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) recommended an interim dose-response curve to predict the percent of the exposed population expected to be awakened as a function of the exposure to single event noise levels expressed in terms of SEL.
		In 1992, the Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) recommended an interim dose-response curve to predict the percent of the exposed population expected to be awakened (% awakening) as a function of the exposure to single event noise levels expressed in terms of the sound exposure level, SEL [FICON, 1992].
		Although outdoor noise exposure level at the test sites varied over the range of levels of principal interest for environmental analysis purposes (3), the prevalence for awakening among test participants did not increase greatly with sound exposure levels of noise intrusions in sleeping quarters.

		Such areas are not protected by current noise regulations because the aircraft noise is averaged over time, instead of being taken as a single event.
