    DNL 65 Noise Contour Map — Sea-Tac Airport Area with Noise Complaint Markers

    An OpenStreetMap-based map centered on the Seattle–Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport area showing a highlighted corridor (shaded in orange/yellow) and a black oval outline delineating what appears to be a flight path or noise impact study zone. Clustered purple markers, likely representing noise complaint locations or monitoring stations, are visible near Burien and a southern cluster near Des Moines/Federal Way, with Sea-Tac Airport identifiable near the center of the map.

    Appendix C Aircraft Noise

    This document explains the fundamentals of aircraft noise at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, covering how sound is measured in decibels and A-weighted decibels (dBA) to reflect human hearing sensitivity. It describes how outdoor sound levels decrease with distance due to wave spreading and atmospheric absorption, with noise typically dropping 6 dB each time the distance from the source doubles. A comparative chart of common indoor and outdoor noise levels is included to help put aircraft noise levels in everyday context.

    Appendix D Land Use

    This document describes existing land uses near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) as part of a Part 150 noise study. It draws on King County parcel and assessor data to categorize land use across nearby communities including Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, SeaTac, Tukwila, and unincorporated King County. The City of Burien, for example, is predominantly single-family residential (about 70% of its land area), with smaller shares dedicated to open space, commercial development, and institutional uses.
