Advanced Aircraft Noise Monitoring Systems for Compliance & Control
Track, analyze, and manage aircraft noise with smart monitoring systems designed for regulatory compliance and real-time insights
Aircraft Noise Monitoring Solutions for Modern Aviation Compliance
Aircraft noise monitoring is a critical part of modern aviation environmental compliance, helping airports, regulatory agencies, and municipalities measure and control sound emissions from takeoff, landing, and overflight operations. These systems combine precision acoustic sensors, GPS tracking, and cloud-based analysis to ensure aircraft noise is within acceptable thresholds, promoting both regulatory adherence and public satisfaction.
At Noise Vibration Monitoring, we support B2B clients across North America with highly scalable aircraft noise monitoring systems that integrate seamlessly with existing airport infrastructure. Our solutions are developed through collaborative research and refined through rigorous quality assurance. By combining powerful analytics and reliable hardware, we help organizations take control of acoustic data, generate meaningful reports, and meet stringent environmental regulations

Case Studies
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), CA
LAX implemented a grid of aircraft noise monitors powered by solar-sensor arrays and LoRaWAN connectivity. With support from Noise Vibration Monitoring, LAX met strict FAA reporting requirements, reduced residential complaints by 43%, and provided real-time public dashboards.
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), NY
Our advanced noise terminal systems helped JFK align with FAR Part 150 guidelines. Real-time waveform logging and third-party integration allowed their team to automatically validate and respond to over 1,200 monthly complaints with verified acoustic records.
Toronto Pearson International Airport, ON
In collaboration with Canadian airport authorities, Noise Vibration Monitoring supplied modular aircraft noise stations capable of operating in sub-zero conditions. Data from our systems was instrumental in community consultations, satisfying Transport Canada’s acoustic compliance mandates
