Allen sits under DFW and Love Field airspace but outside the FAA Part 150 noise contour. McKinney National Airport (TKI) traffic is the most audible source. Federal law preempts local aircraft noise regulation.
Allen residents occasionally hear DFW arrivals on east flow configurations and general aviation traffic from McKinney National Airport roughly 10 miles northeast. The FAA retains exclusive jurisdiction over in-flight noise under 49 USC 40103. Complaints should go through the FAA Noise Portal or TKI airport operations rather than city staff.
