WHAT ARE SOURCES OF NON-AVIATION NOISE?

There are many sources of non-aviation noise. Most of these come from our surrounding area and community. Depending on the location of your community, you may be exposed to noise from:

• Industry (such as factories)
• Transportation (road or rail traffic)
• Construction
• Domestic and leisure activities

For more information, check out our section on Sources of Community Noise.
