[MAP] Road & Aviation Noise: How loud is it in your neighborhood?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A resident who did not want to be identified shared her concerns about noise in her neighborhood coming from planes coming from and going to the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

She lives in the Mountain Island Lake area north of the airport in west Charlotte.

“It seems like there are some weeks where it’s just constant,” the resident said. “It’s every day.”

Some days are quiet while others are disruptive, according to residents.

“The people next door to us lost the sale of their house, because they came over to talk to us outside and we couldn’t even talk, because the noise was that loud,” she said.

That wasn’t something the resident said she had to think about when she moved there.

She said it wasn’t that noisy 20 years ago when there were fewer planes overhead.

A resident said they sent more than 500 complaints to the airport in the last three years.

Airport officials told a resident the neighborhood was called an “Autoland.”

It explains that certain arrivals have to follow a narrow path at an exact speed and angle to land safely.

They also said there's nothing they can do about that.

“Actually, on my side, it was actually a plus because I like the planes flying over,” resident George Rhea said. “I knew the airport was there to begin with and the flight path was here to begin with, so I bought into it right off the bat.”

The Federal Aviation Administration told Channel 9 it measures noise levels in averages more than a 24-hour time period.

Charlotte Douglas said there are some homes that may qualify for help with noise relief.

Those that qualify for noise relief are inside the blue lines on the noise contours map.
