TLDR
The FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) 7.0 as mentioned in this paper was developed with support from the ATAC Corporation and the Department of Transportation Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (NTSC).Abstract:
The Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Environment and Energy, Noise Division (FAA, AEE-100) has developed Version 7.0 of the Integrated Noise Model (INM) with support from the ATAC Corporation and the Department of Transportation Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. The FAA Integrated Noise Model is widely used by the civilian aviation community for evaluating aircraft noise impacts in the vicinity of airports. The model is typically used in the U.S. for FAR Part 150 noise compatibility planning, FAR Part 161 approval of airport noise restrictions, and for environmental assessments and environmental impact statements under the current version of FAA Order 1050.1E. New features in INM 7.0 include: lateral attenuation calculations based on SAE-AIR-5662; flight path segmentation, flight procedure step types, bank angle calculations, and thrust reverser implementation based on ECAC Doc 29; helicopter modeling methods based on Version 2.2 of FAA’s Heliport Noise Model (HNM); an HNM study import function; a scenario annualization function allowing operations to be adjusted after performing a run; a multi-threaded run mode; fixed-spacing contour grid functionality; increased differentiation between different type of aircraft (civil, military, and helicopter); the ability to input location values in lat/long or X/Y; and many extended database fields. INM Version 7.0 software runs on PCs using a minimum hardware configuration of a Pentium III processor, Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP operating systems, 1.0-Gb RAM, mouse input device, hard disk drive, and CD-ROM drive.read more

Does exposure to aircraft noise increase the mortality from cardiovascular disease in the population living in the vicinity of airports? Results of an ecological study in France.
TL;DR: The present ecological study supports the hypothesis of an association between aircraft noise exposure and mortality from cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction, and the possibility that this association could be due to residual confounding cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does aircraft noise exposure increase the risk of hypertension in the population living near airports in France
TL;DR: An exposure–response relationship was evidenced between the risk of hypertension and aircraft noise exposure at night for men only and implies that aircraft noise might be a risk factor also for cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic approach to assess the effectiveness of airport noise mitigation strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an assessment process to evaluate the effects of actions adopted to reduce airport noise impacts on populated areas, such as number of take-off; day-evening-night distributions of movements; aircraft type; flying paths and land-use characteristics have been considered and combined in a density index that synthesizes the impacts of airport noise on the territory.

TL;DR: Findings in the present study confirm findings in the small number of available studies to date suggesting adverse health effects associated with aircraft noise annoyance and noise sensitivity and indicate possible modifier effects in the relationship between aircraft noise levels and the risk of hypertension.

Aircraft noise and self-assessed mental health around a regional urban airport : a population based record linkage study
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the noise environment around this smaller airport (with fewer flights and no night flights) has little influence on population mental health.
