Aircraft noise in Oregon is preempted by federal law and ORS Chapter 836, which gives the Oregon Department of Aviation regulatory authority over airports. Local ordinances cannot restrict overflight noise or set in-air sound limits.
ORS 836.608 grants the Oregon Department of Aviation authority over public-use airports and operations, working with the FAA's exclusive jurisdiction over navigable airspace under 49 USC 40103. Cities and counties cannot impose noise curfews on aircraft in flight, set decibel limits for overflights, or ban specific aircraft types. Local governments retain limited authority over airport ground operations and zoning around airports under ORS 836.610-836.630, but flight-path noise complaints must go through FAA Part 150 or Part 161 processes. Drone noise is similarly preempted under federal aviation rules.
Local aircraft noise ordinances are void and unenforceable; FAA may withhold airport funding from non-compliant municipalities.
