Cedar Park does not (and legally cannot) regulate aircraft-in-flight noise; airspace and aircraft noise are exclusively governed by the FAA under federal law. No local Cedar Park ordinance addresses overflight noise.
Aircraft noise in flight is preempted by federal law (49 U.S.C. §§ 40103, 41713 and FAR Part 150). Cedar Park Code Article 8.08 (Noise Regulations) applies to noise within city limits and within 600 feet of city limits, but FAA jurisdiction over navigable airspace and aircraft operations supersedes any local ordinance attempting to set in-flight noise limits or curfews. Cedar Park sits north of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) but is outside the AUS Part 150 noise exposure contours; the nearest general-aviation field is Lago Vista/Rusty Allen (RYW). Complaints about overflight noise are routed to the FAA Southwest Region Noise Ombudsman, not to Cedar Park PD.
No city violations apply to aircraft-in-flight noise. Ground-based aircraft equipment, helipads, or fixed engine run-ups at private property would fall under Article 8.08 general decibel limits (85 dBA day / 70 dBA night), enforceable as a Class C misdemeanor (fine up to $500 per day under §1.01.009).
