Peoria has minimal commercial airport noise impact. Luke Air Force Base in neighboring Glendale occasionally affects southern Peoria with military aircraft noise. Military aircraft are exempt from local noise ordinances under federal preemption.
Peoria does not have a commercial airport within its city limits and is not directly in the primary flight paths of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Luke Air Force Base, located in neighboring Glendale approximately 10 miles south of central Peoria, operates F-35A and F-16 fighter aircraft that may be audible in southern Peoria neighborhoods, particularly during training operations. Military aircraft noise is federally preempted and exempt from local ordinances. The AICUZ noise contours from Luke AFB primarily affect areas south of Peoria's city limits in Glendale, though sonic boom events have been reported across the west valley. Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (general aviation) is located southeast of Peoria and generates some small aircraft noise in adjacent areas. Real estate disclosures under A.R.S. §28-8461 may apply for properties within the defined vicinity of military airports. Peoria's northern areas near Lake Pleasant are well removed from any airport noise concerns.
No local aircraft noise violations — federal jurisdiction. Noise complaints regarding military aircraft go to Luke AFB Public Affairs. General aviation complaints to FAA.
