Overview

The Airport is committed to minimizing the effect of aircraft noise to the extent possible on surrounding communities while maintaining a safe and efficient air transportation center.

To monitor aircraft activity, a computerized Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) was installed that integrates flight data, aircraft information and noise levels recorded on thirteen permanent microphones located in Alameda, San Leandro and San Lorenzo.

To help manage noise effectively, the Airport has a Noise Report Hotline, (510) 577-4194, to record citizens' concerns. Staff makes every effort to answer the Hotline on weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; otherwise, the message is recorded.

Our first priority is to be responsive to callers. Staff members in the Noise Management Office listen to each caller's comments and respond as soon as possible with pertinent information.

To provide accurate information, staff analyzes data from the noise monitoring system and consults with pilots and air traffic controllers.
