Naperville does not have a local aircraft noise ordinance. Aircraft noise is regulated exclusively at the federal level by the FAA. Naperville is approximately 25 miles from O'Hare International Airport and is not significantly impacted by airport flight paths. The city is not part of any airport noise compatibility program.
Aircraft noise regulation is exclusively a federal matter under the Federal Aviation Act and FAA regulations (14 CFR Part 150). Municipalities cannot regulate aircraft in flight or impose local noise standards on aircraft operations. Naperville is located approximately 25 miles southwest of O'Hare International Airport (KORD) and is generally not under major O'Hare flight paths. The city does not participate in an FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program and is not within the 65 DNL noise contour of any major airport. Illinois law (620 ILCS 5) governs aeronautics at the state level but does not create local noise enforcement mechanisms. The nearest general aviation airports are DuPage Airport (KDPA) in West Chicago and Aurora Municipal Airport (KARR), but neither generates significant noise impact on Naperville residential areas. Naperville's general noise performance standards (Title 6, Chapter 14) apply to ground-level noise sources but do not extend to aircraft operations.
Not applicable at the local level. Aircraft noise complaints should be directed to the FAA or the specific airport's noise abatement office.
