As urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles begin to enter service, consideration must be given to vertiport siting and flight routing to help reduce community noise impact and promote adoption by the community. A possible early strategy to reduce annoyance is to operate the vehicles in areas of existing high ambient noise. In order to assess the effectiveness of such a strategy, an annoyance model that takes audibility into account is needed. This paper reviews a recently developed annoyance model that includes audibility as a factor and applies it to two flight operations. A simple overflight case is first undertaken to demonstrate the approach. A point-to-point operation in the New York City area is then considered to demonstrate how annoyance varies across an urban soundscape. The cases considered use modeled UAM vehicle noise propagated to a set of ground observers as the signals and either recorded or modeled ambient acoustic data as the maskers.
