Castle Rock and Colorado do not regulate aircraft noise in flight. Aircraft operations and noise are governed by the FAA under federal law; the Town's noise code does not apply to lawful overflights.
Aircraft noise is not a Town of Castle Rock matter. Under federal law, the Federal Aviation Administration has exclusive authority over aircraft in flight, flight paths and aircraft noise, which preempts local noise ordinances. Castle Rock Municipal Code Chapter 9.16 governs ground-based noise (music, construction, vehicles, dogs) but cannot restrict lawful aircraft overflights. Colorado's CRS 25-12-103 likewise does not set limits on aircraft in flight. Residents concerned about aircraft or drone noise should contact the FAA; drone operations are also subject to FAA Part 107 and any Town park/property rules for takeoff and landing on public land. Nearby general-aviation traffic includes Centennial and Colorado Springs airport corridors.
No Town enforcement of in-flight aircraft noise. Complaints go to the FAA or the relevant airport's noise office; drones may be cited under FAA rules.
