It doesn't even account for all airports. I live near a Navy base and it doesn't show a thing, despite fighter jets making loops around the base. The nearby commercial airport is shown prominently, though.
- bnycum 10y agoI also live near a military base, and it's not accounted for either. B-52's aren't exactly quiet. Both the regional airport, and smaller airport are shown fine though.
- mohaine 10y agoIf you look it is really a "National Transportation Noise Map" from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. I'm pretty sure those fighter jets are not considered "transportation"
- dawnerd 10y agoI used to live near a Navy Base and their planes/helicopters would rattle the house every week. I think if they took that into account the whole city would be bright red...
- paulddraper 10y agoIt definitely accounts for airports around me. There's a big N-S swath for SLC, and then a smaller X at PVU for the frequent flightpaths.
- dahart 10y agoAnd a few of the airports seem wrong. Not sure if it's a bug, but check out Klamath Falls, Oregon and Bangor, Maine. The noise contour of Klamath is visibly wider than the entire Bay Area, that seems unlikely.
