Marion County's noise ordinance does not regulate aircraft. Section 13-11(3) exempts aircraft and airport activity conducted in accordance with federal laws and regulations, consistent with FAA preemption of aircraft noise.
No Marion County-specific ordinance regulates aircraft noise; Section 13-11(3) of Chapter 13 expressly exempts 'aircraft and airport activity conducted in accordance with federal laws and regulations.' Aircraft noise in flight is preempted by federal law - the FAA, under the Federal Aviation Act and the Aviation Noise Abatement Act, has near-exclusive authority over aircraft operations and noise. Residents disturbed by aircraft overflights generally must raise concerns with the FAA or the operating airport rather than county code enforcement. Ground-based airport activities not conducted in accordance with federal regulations would not be exempt and could be measured against Section 13-7 limits.
County code enforcement does not apply to aircraft in flight; complaints are handled through the FAA Noise Portal and the relevant airport authority rather than under Section 13-14 penalties.
