A review of surveys of aircraft noise annoyance conducted between 2001 and 2014 in communities around 15 airports in Europe and Asia reached two major conclusions:
- Dose/response curves showing the percentage of people highly annoyed by aircraft noise have shifted over time, leading to a higher percentage of annoyed people at a given noise level compared to older surveys; and
- This increase in the percentage of people highly annoyed by aircraft noise is greater at so-called "high-rate change" airports - those facing a sharp change in noise exposure due to activities, such as opening of new runways, operational changes, etc. - than at low-rate change airports.

The City of Chicago has implemented CAPTCHA, a new feature on its aircraft noise complaint website. This change is intended to prevent negative impacts to the City's 311 system for citywide service requests.
The process for residents to submit noise complaints will remain unchanged, except that they will be asked to click on a box indicating they are not a robot when submitting a noise complaint via the website. This is an interim technical solution until the 311 modernization is complete.
ONCC will continue to provide input on improvements that should be made to the aircraft noise complaint system.
