Neither Anoka County nor its cities regulate aircraft noise — flight operations are governed by the FAA, and the Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field) is run by the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Complaints go to the MAC noise line.
Aircraft-in-flight noise is federally preempted: the FAA controls flight paths, altitudes and operating hours, so local governments cannot set aircraft-noise limits. The Anoka County-Blaine Airport (Janes Field, ANE) is a MAC reliever airport in the north metro; noise concerns there are handled by the Metropolitan Airports Commission, not the county sheriff or city community-standards office. Blaine's own guide directs residents to an airport-noise complaint line (612-726-9411). Cities can address ground-based nuisance noise but not overflights. There is no Anoka County ordinance capping aircraft noise.
No local penalty applies to overflight noise; the FAA and MAC handle aircraft-noise issues and voluntary abatement programs.
