How is aircraft noise recorded?

Four permanent noise monitoring stations are in operation to measure noise levels to ensure the airport is operating in compliance with our noise restrictions. Two noise monitors are located in Horsforth, one is located in Menston and one in Burley-in-Wharfedale. The noise monitors are positioned at each side of the two designated NPRs. Leeds City Council undertakes all of the airport’s noise monitoring, which is reported via the Airport’s Consultative Committee and the Leeds City Council Planning Committee.
