<p>This matter was raised in the department’s Airspace and Noise Engagement Group,
which is a formal channel of communication between the department and airspace and
airport noise stakeholders, and also with the Independent Commission on Civil Aviation
Noise (ICCAN). As they discussed, the department is considering the need to commission
a further Survey of Noise Attitudes to provide updated evidence on the effects of
aircraft noise on annoyance, wellbeing and health.</p><p> </p><p>The extent to which
this survey could include communities living in contours below 51 dB LAeq, is dependent
on reliable measurement and modelling of aircraft noise at lower aircraft noise levels.
This is currently difficult to achieve, but future technological solutions around
sound processing are expected to assist.</p>
