Aircraft noise in Fulton County is preempted by federal law (Federal Aviation Act). KATL operates the Hartsfield-Jackson Noise Office to mitigate community impacts but cannot enforce local sound limits on flights.
FAA preemption under 49 U.S.C. §40103 prevents local governments from regulating aircraft operations or noise. KATL (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International) operates a voluntary Noise Compatibility Program under FAR Part 150 with sound monitoring and a noise hotline (404-209-2911). Residential noise insulation grants are available for homes within the 65 DNL noise contour. Local noise ordinances do not apply to overflights.
No local enforcement against aircraft. Federal violations enforced by FAA only.
