Aircraft noise in Wisconsin is overwhelmingly governed by federal aviation law. The FAA preempts state and local noise regulation of aircraft in flight, while Wisconsin Statute Chapter 114 governs aeronautics and limits municipal authority over airspace and airport operations.
Under the federal Airline Deregulation Act and FAA authority, Wisconsin municipalities cannot regulate aircraft operations, flight paths, or in-flight noise. Wisconsin Statute Chapter 114 (Aeronautics) provides state-level oversight of airports and aviation, and Wis. Stat. § 114.04 vests sovereignty over airspace consistent with federal law. Local airport noise ordinances must comply with FAA Part 150 noise compatibility planning. Municipalities retain limited authority over airport zoning and ground-based noise but cannot impose curfews or operational restrictions without federal approval.
Local ordinances attempting to restrict aircraft operations are typically unenforceable. FAA enforcement applies to pilots violating federal noise rules; civil penalties vary.
