Aircraft noise over Dunedin is regulated almost entirely by the FAA under federal law, but Dunedin Code Section 107-41.1 may apply to ground-based activity, low-altitude drones, and helipad operations within city limits.
The Federal Aviation Administration preempts most local regulation of in-flight aircraft noise, including overflights from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International. Dunedin's noise ordinance (Section 107-41.1) does, however, reach ground-based aviation activities such as engine run-ups, taxiing operations, and helipad use within city limits, as well as recreational drone operation that creates a continuous nuisance. Residents experiencing repeated overflight concerns are typically directed to the FAA Noise Complaint program or the operating airport's noise abatement office.
City code citations may apply to ground-based or amplified aviation noise; in-flight noise violations are referred to FAA enforcement channels.
