Tell Elected Officials That Plane Noise Makes You Miserable

The most effective way is a paper “snail mail” letter, but emails and phone calls are good too.

Tell the FAA That Plane Noise Makes You Miserable

Aren’t sure what to say and how to say it? Here are some points to consider…

    • Be brief and to the point. Shorter messages are more likely to be read.
    • Let them know how the airplane noise disrupts your life every day and negatively impacts your quality of life, conversations, sleep, outdoor activities, children’s play, and homework. Whatever is being affected – let them know!
    • The concentration of narrow airplane superhighways, that repeatedly impact the same neighborhoods, is unfair and intolerable. Everyone benefits from the aviation industry, so the impacts should be distributed more equitably, not concentrated and focused over specific homes.
    • We need a quick response from the FAA with a speedy timetable towards effective noise mitigation. We are suffering and need relief.
    • Thank elected officials when they’ve done something you’re happy with, like supporting the Oakland Airport-Community Noise Management Forum’s NextGen noise mitigation proposals that were sent to the FAA in March 2017. If your local representatives aren’t listed below, urge them to add their support and press the FAA for effective NextGen noise mitigation.
