The Port of Seattle responds to Burien's City Council regarding its Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program, explaining that the $5 million program targets homes insulated before 1993 that still measure at or above 45 dB DNL interior noise levels. Of 262 eligible homes in the highest noise zones tested so far, only 5 qualified for repairs, suggesting older insulation packages are still performing acoustically. The Port plans to expand testing to 209 additional homes in early 2026 and may access FAA grants covering up to 80% of design and construction costs.
