Allen County does not regulate aircraft noise. Airspace and aircraft operations are federally preempted by the FAA, and noise mitigation around Fort Wayne International is handled through the FAA Part 150 program, not county ordinance.
Federal law preempts local regulation of aircraft in flight, so neither Allen County nor Fort Wayne can set decibel limits or curfews for aircraft. Noise around Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) is managed under the FAA's airport noise compatibility (Part 150) framework and by the Fort Wayne–Allen County Airport Authority, which uses land-use compatibility and voluntary measures rather than a punitive noise code. Residents with aircraft-noise concerns contact the airport authority or FAA, not county code enforcement.
No county penalty; aircraft noise is a federal/airport-authority matter, not enforced under Allen County or Chapter 96.
