Sound Attenuation
Communities are built around the citizens that live there. Governments, businesses, and amenities can only thrive and grow if they contribute to the best interests of people. As important and established components of their communities, airports play an important role in the lives of the people they serve.
Over the years, passenger travel and cargo shipments have grown dramatically, increasing demand on airports and the communities that surround them. What effect do these increased air traffic and operations have on the people who live near the airport?
Homes and schools that surround airport property are subject to high levels of aircraft noise, often disrupting everyday activities for the families who live and students who learn there. Aircraft are second only to industry in the number of noise complaints they generate. Studies show that excessive noise can cause health problems in both children and adults and learning problems in children. However, the most common complaint about aircraft noise is its negative effect on quality of life.
A sound insulation program is one of the most effective ways to mitigate the harmful effects of excess noise and foster a positive relationship between the community and the owners/operators of the airport. Sound insulation programs enhance people's living and learning environments and improve economic vitality by increasing property values and real estate desirability.
The satisfaction of the end user must be the most important focus of any program. Only a high-quality, well-run program will meet the goals of the end users. The words of some of the satisfied homeowners in our programs says more about our dedication to quality service than anything else. In fact, many of our residential programs have homeowner satisfaction rates of more than 90%.
