	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2019 answer text <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> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 14/06/2019 13:08:47 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
