The NOC meets bi-monthly, and brings industry and community representatives together to discuss aircraft noise issues at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and to bring policy recommendations to the MAC. The cities of Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, Eagan and Mendota Heights each have a representative on the committee. The cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Edina, Inver Grove Heights, St. Paul, St. Louis Park and Sunfish Lake are represented through an at-large membership. The NOC has reviewed and made recommendations on several issues including runway use, nighttime operations, departure/arrival procedures, flight track headings, investigation of future technologies, PARTNER initiatives, RNAV Procedures, etc.

Historic Noise Level Comparisons Since 2008 the number of events above 65 db is trending downward. Reduction in total operations. Reduction in Hushkit /Modified Stage 3 aircraft. Replaced by newer technology, quieter aircraft. The trend will likely continue as aircraft manufacturers are designing and manufacturing quieter, more efficient aircraft. Between 2014 and 2015 there was a slight increase. Warmer average temperatures in 2015 (on average, about 7 warmer than 2014). Reduction in small 50-seat RJ aircraft. 22

LTCP Noise Analysis 2035 Forecast vs. 2030 Forecast (from 2010 LTCP) The 2035 Forecast 65 DNL noise contour is 37.4% smaller than what was forecasted in the 2010 LTCP for the 2030 65 DNL noise contour. The 2035 Forecast 60 DNL noise contour is 32.3% smaller than what was forecasted in the 2010 LTCP for the 2030 60 DNL noise contour. In total, there are 7,005 fewer single-family homes and 6,398 fewer multi-family units inside the 2035 Forecast 60 DNL contour as compared to what was forecasted in the 2010 LTCP for the 2030 60 DNL noise contour.
