Aircraft noise is regulated by the FAA, not Butler County. The county cannot set flight-path or altitude noise limits, which are federal. Butler County Regional Airport (Hamilton) follows FAA rules; local complaints go to the airport or FAA.
Aircraft-in-flight noise is preempted by federal law and controlled by the Federal Aviation Administration, so neither Butler County nor its townships can set enforceable aircraft-noise limits. The Butler County Regional Airport (Hogan Field) near Hamilton operates under FAA regulations, and general aviation traffic must follow federal altitude and operating rules. Residents concerned about low-flying aircraft or repeated overflights can file a complaint with the airport administration or the FAA rather than local police. Ground-based airport equipment or events on airport property could fall under local noise or zoning rules, but flight operations themselves do not. The county's role is limited to owning and operating its regional airport, not regulating flight noise.
Enforced federally by the FAA; no county citation for in-flight aircraft noise. Ground noise on airport property may fall under local rules.
