Yuba City does not regulate aircraft-in-flight noise; the FAA holds exclusive authority over airspace and aircraft operations. Beale Air Force Base, the largest local aviation noise source, lies in Yuba County about 10 miles east.
Federal law (49 U.S.C. §40103) preempts municipalities from regulating aircraft in flight. Yuba City Municipal Code Chapter 17 (Noise Regulations) does not address aircraft operations. California Public Utilities Code §21669 (the Airport Noise Standards, 21 CCR §5000 et seq.) sets a 65 dB CNEL community noise standard around civil airports, administered by Caltrans Aeronautics. Beale AFB U-2, RQ-4 Global Hawk, and T-38 Talon operations generate the dominant overflight noise in the Yuba-Sutter area; military aircraft noise is governed by DoD AICUZ studies, not local code. Complaints about civil aircraft go to the FAA Noise Portal; Beale-related complaints go to Beale Public Affairs.
No local citation available for aircraft noise. FAA enforces federal flight rules under 14 CFR Part 91. Civil aircraft complaints: file with FAA at noise.faa.gov. Military overflight complaints: Beale AFB Public Affairs (530) 634-3000.
