Aircraft noise, including from Hill Air Force Base near Layton, Clearfield and Roy, is regulated by the federal government, not Davis County. The FAA and the military control flight operations and airspace, so cities and the county cannot set aircraft noise limits. Concerns go to Hill AFB's community noise program.
Davis County is home to Hill Air Force Base, a major source of aircraft noise across Layton, Clearfield, Roy and Sunset. Under federal law, the FAA has exclusive control of navigable airspace and flight operations, and military flying is directed by the Department of the Air Force, so local governments are preempted from setting aircraft-noise or curfew rules. Neither Davis County nor its cities can regulate overflights. Hill AFB operates a community noise/complaint line and publishes flight-schedule information, and the base uses an Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) study to guide compatible land use near the runway. Route noise complaints to Hill AFB Public Affairs rather than city code enforcement.
Not locally enforceable; aircraft operations fall under FAA and U.S. Air Force jurisdiction.
