Revere is adjacent to Boston Logan International Airport (directly across the harbor). Aircraft noise is governed by FAA regulations and Massport; the city has no local authority over flight paths. Massport has noise abatement programs and a complaint hotline.
Revere is specifically listed as fully included within Massport's Logan Airport noise planning area. The city's proximity to Logan means aircraft overfly Revere neighborhoods at low altitude during arrivals and departures. Massport's Residential Sound Insulation Program provides free soundproofing for homes within the FAA-approved 65 dB DNL noise exposure contour. Many Revere homes have been treated under this program. The 24-hour noise hotline at 617-561-3333 accepts complaints. Revere Beach and Point of Pines neighborhoods are particularly affected by runway approaches.
Massport enforces noise abatement rules on airlines. Eligible homes receive free sound insulation. Noise complaints tracked through the 24-hour hotline.
