Aircraft noise from Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), Lantana Airport, and North County General Aviation is regulated by the FAA and is preempted from local control. PBC Department of Airports operates a noise abatement program with voluntary nighttime procedures.
Federal Aviation Act preempts local noise regulation of aircraft in flight. PBI publishes preferred runway use and continuous descent approach procedures to reduce nighttime overflight impact, particularly over West Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and unincorporated areas south of the airport. Residents may file noise complaints through the PBI WebTrak system.
