East Baton Rouge Parish sets no aircraft-noise ordinance. Aircraft and airport noise are preempted by the FAA under federal law; the local noise code (Title 12, Ch. 2) does not regulate overflights.
The parish has no local rule on aircraft or helicopter noise, and none appears in Title 12, Chapter 2. Federal law gives the FAA exclusive authority over aircraft in flight and navigable airspace, so cities and parishes generally cannot set overflight noise limits. Complaints about jets and helicopters near Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) go to the airport authority and the FAA rather than to local code enforcement. Ground-based airport equipment and non-aviation noise on the ground could still fall under the general Sec. 12:100 loud-and-raucous standard.
No local penalty for aircraft noise; FAA and airport authority handle aviation complaints.
