Title: THE DEVELOPMENT OF LUTON AIRPORT AND ITS EFFECT UPON THE NOISE CLIMATE OF THE AREA
Abstract: The basic method used to assess aircraft noise nuisance around airports in Great Britain relies on the correlation of subjective annoyance with a physical measure of the noise exposure. The unit of noise and number index (NNI), currently being taken as the standard is derived using the average peak noise level of aircraft and the number of aircraft heard on the ground. Changes in the noise exposure pattern around Luton Airport since 1969 are examined. The airport has the benefit of a noise monitoring system and this, in conjunction with the NNI monitoring study, has enabled the collection of good data used for making decisions which affect the airport development. The NNI contains of 1969 through and including 1973 are described in detail in addition to 1980 projections.
