Harris County has significant aircraft operations from George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Hobby Airport (HOU), and Ellington Field. FAA preempts local regulation. The Houston Airport System manages noise programs.
IAH and HOU generate substantial aircraft noise in unincorporated areas. Ellington Field (military/NASA) also contributes. FAA exclusively controls flight paths. The Houston Airport System operates noise monitoring and complaint programs. Noise insulation programs may be available for properties in high-impact areas near IAH.
No local authority over aircraft noise. Complaints go to the Houston Airport System noise office or FAA.
