    Aviation noise impact: A historical perspective

    This December 2009 presentation by Kenneth J. Plotkin of Wyle Laboratories examines the history of aviation noise impact research, tracing how noise metrics evolved over time and what was learned—or lost—along the way. It outlines the FAA's Aviation Noise Impacts Research Roadmap, whose goals include improving understanding of annoyance and sleep disruption, developing exposure-to-impact assessments, and informing policy, mitigation strategies, and cost-benefit models. The presentation emphasizes the importance of learning from past research efforts to avoid repeating mistakes in future noise policy decisions.

  • Aerial View of Highway Interchange Near Sea-Tac Airport, 1970s–1980s

    Aerial photograph looking northward toward Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (visible runway and terminal area in background right), showing a major highway interchange—likely International Boulevard (SR-99) crossing Interstate 5—with surrounding commercial parking lots, auto dealerships, and suburban development. The image appears to be from the 1970s or early 1980s based on vehicle styles and development density, consistent with a Sea-Tac Airport noise-policy or planning archive.
