Why one visit is not enough

The day you viewed the house may have been a quiet one.

Airports switch runways with the wind, so the same street can be loud one day and quiet the next. One viewing can't tell you which day you saw. A year of flights can.

North-wind days (about 4 in 10)

128

When it's loud

What makes a day loud, such as the runway in use, and the loud hours and months.

Why trust this report

Real flights, a standard method, and plain about its limits.

Recorded flights

Each plane's path and height come from the positions it broadcasts (ADS-B), recorded by volunteer receivers and published by ADSB.lol.

How flights are recorded

A standard noise method

The noise at your spot is estimated for every flight with the method behind the FAA's noise model, and the official aircraft noise data.

How the noise is calculated

Plain about its limits

An estimate of the noise outdoors, not a measurement or an official noise map. Each report says how it was made.

Questions

Good to know

Is this an official noise map?+

No. Official noise maps are redrawn every five years, often from old traffic, and show broad averages. We start from every recorded flight of the last year and estimate the noise at your exact spot, with the same calculation method airports use for their maps.

How much is it, and how do I pay?+

$29 for one address, tax included, paid once when you order, on Stripe’s secure payment page. Your report follows by email, usually within two working days.

Where does the flight data come from?+

Aircraft broadcast their position and height. Volunteer receivers record these signals and ADSB.lol publishes them. We use every recorded flight of the last year.

Can I share the report?+

Yes. Send its private link or the PDF to your partner, your agent or your lawyer.

What if something is wrong?+

If the report cannot be built or is clearly wrong for your address, we refund you. See the refund policy.
