Aircraft noise is preempted by FAA regulation (49 USC 40103). Lynn Haven cannot regulate aircraft. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) and Tyndall AFB are the primary sources of overflight noise in Bay County.
Federal law preempts local aircraft noise regulation. The closest commercial airport is Northwest Florida Beaches International (ECP) located in Bay County, with arrival/departure tracks that occasionally bring traffic over Lynn Haven. Tyndall Air Force Base operates F-22 and now F-35 squadrons with periodic overflights. Noise complaints regarding ECP go to the Panama City-Bay County Airport Authority noise office. Tyndall complaints go directly to the base community relations office. Lynn Haven Police and Code Enforcement cannot cite aircraft noise.
Local enforcement is preempted. FAA Part 150 noise compatibility programs are the only formal redress.
