Aircraft noise is explicitly exempt from Clark County noise standards under Title 30 Section 30.68.020. Harry Reid International Airport (formerly McCarran, code LAS) is operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation and sits in unincorporated Paradise, directly adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. LAS operates under an FAA Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program that maps day-night average sound level (DNL) contours and funds sound insulation and avigation easements in qualifying neighborhoods. Nellis Air Force Base in the northeast drives additional military aircraft noise over Sunrise Manor and North Las Vegas approaches. Under federal preemption the FAA controls aircraft flight paths and in-flight noise, so Clark County cannot impose curfews or altitude rules. Real estate disclosures are required for properties in mapped high-noise zones. Complaints about specific overflights go to the airport Noise Office or FAA; persistent ground-level APU or engine run-up noise at LAS is addressed by airport operations.
No local citation available for in-flight noise — aircraft exempt from county ordinance. Overflight complaints to Airport Noise Office or FAA Flight Standards District Office.
