Summit County does not regulate aircraft noise. Aviation noise is preempted by federal law; the FAA and airport operators handle it through Part 150 noise-compatibility programs. Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) runs an FAA-approved noise program for the area.
No Summit County ordinance sets aircraft noise limits, and §509.08 governs ground-based nuisance sound, not overflights. Aircraft-in-flight noise is controlled by the federal government: the FAA regulates aircraft operations and noise, and airport proprietors implement voluntary abatement through FAR Part 150 noise-compatibility programs. The FAA approved a Part 150 noise-compatibility program for Akron-Canton Airport (CAK, North Canton), which serves the region just south of Summit County. Residents with aircraft-noise concerns file complaints with the airport's noise office or the FAA rather than the county. Local governments generally cannot restrict flight operations because of federal preemption over navigable airspace.
Not a county-enforced matter. Aircraft-noise concerns are handled by the FAA and the airport operator's noise-abatement program, not by county citation.
