View Full Version : Listening for Quiet

Quite a good article in the Nov/Dec AARP magazine titled "Listening
for Quiet".
It talks about a silent sanctuary in Washington's Olympic National
park. The article
concluded by someone complaining about the silence broken by a small
plane.
The article said "The small plane flying north more than doubles the
ambient sound,
and we react to the intruder as a threat, drawing in, tracking the
source, hunching for
cover until the last traces of engine noise finally die away."

Did the article happen to mention the duration (in seconds) that the
noise from this "intruder" was detectable? There is little question
that small airplanes are noisy, but they are usually only audible for
about 20 seconds. In the area in question, it may be longer, but the
sonic impact of the occasional lone aircraft is nothing compared
living adjacent to a busy street. Perhaps we should consider closing
all the roads in residential neighborhoods. :-)

I guess having the land criss-crossed with highways filled with cars, trucks,
and SUVs doesn't count.
Where I live in the city, I can barely hear the occasional jet or prop
airplane over the constant din of vehicular traffic. And even in the days
when I lived directly beneath a standard arrival for the local (very large)
airport, I never noticed the aircraft--and there wasn't much other noise where
I lived, it's just that modern aircraft are often pretty quiet unless you're
standing right next to them.

It'll never happen. People are always eager to restrict the liberties of
others, but never of themselves. Since most people drive, they'll resist any
restrictions on driving, but since almost nobody flies, piloting is always
fair game for restrictions.

Right.
I can count several hundred bass thumping
cars and straight pipe motorcycles for
each GA plane I hear...

I believe there are better sanctuaries for silence in the world than a park.
In the 60's, they made a bunch of bomb shelters, and I think they would be a
much better place to find absolute silence if one is searching for that.

When an airman is rude publicly to a member of the non-aviation
public, it reflects badly on him as an individual, but it also gives
the public the idea that airman are arrogant elitists who don't care
who they annoy. That is a mistake today more than ever, IMNSHO.

The Olympic National Park covers much of northwestern Washington,
including a great deal of the coast, all of the Olympic Mountains, the
Hoh Rain Forest, and much else. It is bordered by important airports
that serve coastal towns, Indian reservations, and international
travel. There are several airports within the boundaries of the park.
There are also several military training areas in and around the park.
There is a narrow corridor between the park and Sub Base Bangor which
is one of the major routes for traffic flying Canada, the San Juan
Islands, Bremerton, Tacoma, Olympia, and Seattle.
Most aircraft avoid flying over the Olympic Mountains because it is
relatively dangerous, rugged territory prone to unpredictable weather
and icing. Because of the park's location, however, and the fact that
the park is broken into two sections, it is not always possible to fly
a route around the park. It can mean adding several hours to a flight
to go around. Not only that, but bad weather in the Strait of Juan de
Fuca, on the coast, or on Puget Sound can leave you little choice.
Pilots do try to maintain at least 2000' above wild areas as requested
by the National Park Service. However, planes taking off or landing
obviously are going to have to fly lower than 2000.' There are
additional aircraft that fly lower than 2000' for scientific and law
enforcement purposes, as well as search and rescue, fire fighting, and
surveying. Specially equipped airplanes regularly fly at low level over
the park as part of the effort to control our borders, fight smuggling,
and look for terrorist activity. Some areas completely bounded by the
park are managed lands set aside for tree farming. There are aircraft
actively involved in logging there. Boeing and some airlines have been
known to conduct training flights at low altitude over the park.
Aviation is a huge and necessary part of the activity at Olympic
National Park, perhaps more so than any other park in the nation. Many
peoples' lives and much of the health of the park itself are dependent
on it. If you want to get away from airplanes and their noise, Olympic
National Park is a poor choice.

I think the same holds true even when an airman is rude publicly to another
airman. After all, it is a public forum.

Where can I find the rules and regulations that specify how high
or low a plane can fly over various terrain, like cities, wilderness,
etc.
Also, is there an easy way from the ground to measure the height
of a flying plane?

Yes, but as I said, even when I lived in another city beneath an arrival path
for one of the world's largest airports, I still didn't hear much.
It used to be entirely forbidden to overfly Paris without special permission,
but now I do see aircraft occasionally flying over the city. I understand
that rules were relaxed some years ago (ironically not long after 9/11), but
at the same time I still see Paris marked as a prohibited area on the charts,
so I'm not sure what the status is exactly.

The Federal Aviation Regulations can be found in most bookstores and
pilot shops. However, there really aren't many rules.
Federal Aviation Regulation 91.119 spells out the minimum safe altitude
for VFR aircraft. Remember, this is a safety rule, not a noise
abatement rule (although crashing airplanes are pretty noisy):
----------
§*91.119***Minimum safe altitudes: General.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an
aircraft below the following altitudes:
(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency
landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.
(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or
settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of
1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of
2,000 feet of the aircraft.
(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the
surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those
cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any
person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
(d) Helicopters. Helicopters may be operated at less than the minimums
prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section if the operation is
conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface. In
addition, each person operating a helicopter shall comply with any
routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the
Administrator.
----------
As you can see, the above is a general rule. There are numerous
exceptions. Some areas are restricted airspace and have their own
minimum altitude requirements. Also, some wildlife areas, including all
of Olympic National Park, as well as almost all other state and
national parks, nature preserves, and so forth, 'request' that, except
when taking off and landing, you remain 2000 feet above them. Note that
this is a request. It does not have the force of law and it is not a
regulation. There are many reasons it cannot be made a regulation.
However, a pilot who regularly violates this request without a very
good reason is likely to get a phone call from park officials. Since no
one goes and paints a blue dotted line on the ground around all these
areas, pilots who are unfamiliar with an area may inadvertently fly too
low over a preserve.
We also are subject to the same rules as everyone else about
approaching marine mammals too closely or harassing them. When we are
on the water we are boats and are governed by the Coast Guard and have
the same rules as all other boats.
Some Wilderness Areas have airfields in them, although they are rare
and maintained for historic reasons, fire-fighting, or some sort of
compromise worked out with pilots and other interest groups in order to
get the area designated as wilderness. The USDA Forest Service is
usually responsible for these fields and they are generally run with a
strict view to minimizing the impact on wilderness.
Due to the fact that planes come in all shapes, colors and sizes there
is no good way to tell how high they are or how far away they are.
Airplanes can appear to be closer or farther away at different times of
the day or night and in different weather, too. This is a big issue
with pilots. After all, we do not want to run into each other and some
simple method of determining how far away a plane is would be quite
welcome. Besides, we don't like being buzzed by low flying planes any
more than anyone else. If we want to see low flying planes we go to the
airport. Pilots don't like jerks and we have ways of dealing with them.
Although everyone, including the pilots, find airplane noise
objectionable, aircraft are possibly the ultimate in leave-no-trace
visits to parks. Many pilots are rabid environmentalists because we see
the overall effects of environmental damage that are not visible or
difficult to comprehend from the ground. It is not difficult, for
example, to see what parts of Hood Canal are dead or dying, or where a
forest is blighted. We can also see the trash left by humans
everywhere, the bears rummaging through it, and the results of drunken
nitwits who are careless with fire. We can see where criminals have
cleared off public forest lands in order to raise pot. If noisy
airplanes bother you, come for a ride and most of us can show you stuff
that will really raise your blood pressure.
You are possibly aware that large areas of Olympic National Park may
have to be closed to hiking. Much of the forest is dying, as are many
of the meadows, because people have packed down the earth around the
trees and left human excrement several inches deep covering several
acres around the beaches and other popular spots. Some of that silence
you hear is the silence of death. No birds. No animals. Hardly even a
leaf stirring. Think about it.

Not surprising that you are not sure, because you are not a pilot. To pilots,
the rules and procedures are clear, and vector departures and arrivals may
route planes over the city. These are limited for political reasons, and remain

Well, radar vectors are pretty cut and dried - you go where they say.
The arrivals are designed to avoid Paris, but they often vector them right up
to the line - With a 1nm tolerance in B-RNAV a good many of them will be over
the line. Departures often fly over Paris, but they are above 6500ft, where
there is no restriction.
I agree that airplane noise in that and most other cities is insignificaznt
compared with road traffic noise. . .

The wisdom I've acquired has taught me to never believe anyone based on
credentials. I have to see someone demonstrate that he actually knows what he
is talking about before I believe him. It's surprising how frequently people
with credentials turn out to be clueless.
October 13th 07, 10:37 PM
Well, the wisdom you have aquired is flawed. It would be much wiser to
make the rebuttable assumption the credentialed indivudual is more
qualified than one claiming to be expert who does not carry the
credentials.
It is laughable when one considers the number of resumes one might see
that claim "Ph.D, Qualified, thesis not completed" Or, among MDs,
"Qualfied for Board Certification."
Such claims make life easier for the decision maker: There are two
broad kinds of mistakes on can make in choosing candidates, or
friends, or experts -- to accept someone now qualified (a mistake of
the first kind) or to reject someone who is qualified (a mistake of
the second kind.) In real life we are best off making many of the
mistakes of the first kind, to avoid making mistakes of the second
kind.
I appreciate that you may never had been a hiring authority, but you
provide good practice to those here who might be.

I love flying but I also love wilderness camping. Although I would not
vote to ban aircraft from flying over unpopulated areas, I would rather
not hear them when I'm enjoying the wilderness.
In a similar way, I enjoy both fly fishing and white-water canoeing,
although the two are incompatible.
I suggest we simply need to develop a tolerance, or perhaps respect, for
the other fellow's recreation even if it occasionally interferes with ours.

Well, if really was "a silent sanctuary," then doubling the sound would
not make much difference: two times zero decibels = zero decibels.

The sound level outdoors is rarely zero. And decibels are a log scale, so a
doubling of sound intensity is always an increase of 3 decibels, irrespective
of the starting sound level. It is hard to even perceive an increase of 3
decibels.

I live directly below the traffic pattern of a busy GA airport in
Dayton, and there are four airports closeby. I am sensitive to noise,
and I go to great lengths to keep my environment noise-free. I have
noticed that the airplane noise is nowhere close to the noise from all
the lawnmowers that seem to constantly run from April to October.
Airplane noise lasts about 30 seconds. A lawn mower runs for an hour
or two. Sometime the noise never ceases as each neighbor fires up
their lawnmower in turns. It would be interesting to do a measurement
and identify the average contribution from all the noise souces. With
a digital recorder and some signal processing software this ought to
be doable. One also has to consider the impact of noise on the human
ear. Widely varying pitch is worse than a constant dull hum. A
chainsaw noise is worse because of all the "vroom vroom" accelerations
and decelerations.

It is hard to even perceive an increase of 3 decibels.

By extension, the "least bad" noise is a leaf blower - a constant drone
of a single tone. It is the sound that I personally find =most=
annoying; even very far away and at a low volume it is extremely
aggravating. I much prefer noise that varies in pitch, timbre, volume,
and other qualities.
Is your statement that "...varying pitch is worse..." a personal
preference, or something that you can quantify and substantiate?

I guess it is a personal preference, but I had assumed it might be
true for most people. May be that is not the case. When we go up to
the summer cottage by the lake, it is a shame that the peace and quite
is frequently disturbed by chain saws. On most summer days I can
constantly hear someone running a chain saw. On open water the sounds
carries well, so the noise source could be more than a mile away. Once
you account for all the people on the lake, it doesn't take much to at
least someone to be running a chainsaw at any given time.

7/25/2007 Dossier
REQUEST OF CLIENT
On July 24, 2007, Martin Markoe with eMicrophones, Inc. contacted
XXXXX & Associates, with the request for a full background/dossier on
Mr. Mark O. Bender.
SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION
Our office found Mr. Mark Bender's current address is 509 Frost, SATX
78201, to be owned by Ms. Gloria Trevino. There are many rental homes
in this area. Mr. Bender has never owned property. He does not own a
vehicle. He doesn't have a TX Driver's license. He does have a TX
State ID. He has been arrested twice for Assault/Family/Domestic
Violence. Both charges were dismissed. There is a possibility that the
"Mark Bender" named in the Bexar County Civil case for damages could
be the same Mark Orrin Bender with in this report. The court documents
would to be ordered at any additional cost to the client.
