The data used to prepare Monthly
Noise Reports for the communities surrounding O'Hare is provided by
The Chicago Airport System's
Airport Noise Monitoring System (ANMS). The ANMS is a
comprehensive system designed to provide actual measurement of the
aircraft noise levels in Chicago neighborhoods and suburban
communities around O'Hare. This integrated system includes many
components, including a network of permanent noise monitors that
measure the noise environment and a system directly connected to the
FAA's air traffic control radar that collects aircraft flight
tracks. More than 5 million data points are recorded and stored by
the system each day.
At the direction of the ONCC, the
ANMS and the report compilation methodology
were
independently verified by an aircraft noise
expert.
The following Monthly Noise Reports are available on the
Department of Aviation Community Noise Resource Center Web Site.
Follow the links below to view the reports.

Fleet Mix Reports
Monthly Noise Hotline Reports
Annual Noise Level Report
The Department of Aviation maintains a noise hotline for citizens to
express their concerns about particular incidents or aircraft noise
levels in general. The noise hotline reports summarize the number of
calls received, where the callers were located, and the nature of
the disturbance. The Department of Aviation Noise Office uses this
data as the basis for working with the O'Hare Noise Compatibility
Commission, the Federal Aviation Administration, air carriers, and
communities on future programs aimed at reducing noise impacts on
residential communities.
If you wish to express your concerns about particular incidents or
aircraft noise levels in your community, please call the
O'Hare
Noise Abatement Hotline:
