Aircraft Noise Control

New residential developments near airports are required by Council to be designed to reduce aircraft noise within the dwelling. The acceptable indoor noise levels are 50 dBA within bedrooms, 55 dBA within other habitable rooms and 60 dBA in other rooms.

Depending on the location of the development relative to the airport, heavier building materials may need to be used, for example double glazing, roof insulation and door seals.

We welcome the opportunity to provide clients with acoustical advice to reduce aircraft noise.
