Noise Reports

Some caveats regarding the data:

  • The current dataset for all reports is from Jan 01, 1970 to Jan 01, 1970.
  • The altitudes are still spotty in many places.
  • Some options run slowly or even hang depending on the result set, or if the query is too complex.
  • And, did we mention that sometimes the Port of Seattle’s data source has exactly the same challenges? 😀

We are attempting to improve this as we get more data from volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please read here. If you are having difficulty or are interested in a particular query you don’t see here, please make a research request.

Noise Reports

Let’s see how noisy it is…

These reports attempt to give residents a rough idea of the noise impacts to their neighborhood and this region. It gathers publicly available data from the Port Of Seattle’s own Noise Monitoring system.

These first few reports and graphs are very small steps in what I hope will be a larger project, including information on the effects to health, real estate and income as I have time to build. The current data set represents 0 noise events from Jan 01, 1970 to Jan 01, 1970. Please see the Noise Monitors Section of this page for more information.

#1 Hourly Noise Detail Report

This first form shows you the average noise and number of flights at a given hour of the day (or night) for one or more locations over a range of dates.

Example: “Show me the average noise level near Des Moines Memorial Drive at 3pm from January to July of 2017”.

To Use: Select the Monitor which is nearest to your neighborhood, enter an hour of the day, the starting and ending dates to include, then press ‘Go’.
