While aircraft noise does not usually have a negative impact on public health, it does affect public welfare. Airports around the country are constantly looking for innovative ways to reduce the impact of airport operations on their neighbors. The Sarasota Bradenton International Airport's Residential Sound Insulation Pilot Project is one of several ways the airport has played an active role in the community to help improve their neighbor's quality of life. The pilot project was an initial demonstration which introduced the concept of sound insulation to residents of homes located between the 65- and 75-dB day-night average sound level contours. Implemented as part of the airport's Noise Compatibility Program, the project was designed to provide design guidelines, to develop a construction methodology, and to validate cost effectiveness for a possible continuing program in which all eligible homes could be sound insulated. The overall results of the program were extremely successful, providing four homes with a substantial reduction of interior noise levels due to aircraft overflights. The pilot project was not only successful technically, but also served as a positive public relations program showing the community the airport's commitment to reduce noise for persons who live in close proximity to the air carrier flight corridors.
