Aircraft noise is regulated by the federal government (FAA), not by Burlington County or New Jersey. The state Noise Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:29) explicitly does not apply to aircraft in flight; complaints go to the FAA or the airport operator.
Neither Burlington County nor New Jersey sets enforceable aircraft-noise limits — aircraft operations and noise are preempted by federal law and administered by the FAA. New Jersey's Noise Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:29) excludes aircraft and other federally regulated sources from its operational standards. Burlington County residents near Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst or general-aviation fields who experience aircraft noise should file complaints with the FAA or the airport/base noise office rather than the county. Ground-based airport equipment can, however, fall under the state facility noise limits.
No county penalty; aircraft-noise concerns are handled through FAA processes and airport/base noise programs.
