Various noise measurement parameters/indices used to define aircraft and airport noise are explained. The noise zone limits used around airports in some countries are given. Noise prediction software can be used to generate noise contours around airports. New aircraft noise certification standards have been developed to encourage control of aircraft noise at source. Aircraft noise can also be reduced if noise abatement landing and take-off procedures are followed.
