Redondo Beach has no local aircraft-noise ordinance. Airspace and aircraft noise from LAX and nearby airports are regulated by the FAA; RBMC 4-24.604 exempts federally and state-preempted activities.
Redondo Beach sits south of LAX and near Torrance and Hawthorne airports, but it does not regulate aircraft noise locally. RBMC 4-24.604 expressly states that the chapter's exterior and interior noise standards do not apply to any activity preempted by State or Federal law, and 4-24.602 exempts public-safety warning devices and train horns. Aircraft noise is controlled by the Federal Aviation Administration and, for LAX, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). The City Manager's office has lobbied the FAA and LAWA over easterly LAX departures; residents report LAX overflight noise to the airport's noise hotline (424-646-6473) rather than to City code enforcement.
No local citation applies to aircraft noise; complaints go to the FAA or the LAX/LAWA noise office, not Redondo Beach code enforcement.
