Abstract

Within the context of the French Noise and Sound Annoyance Survey ordered by the General Direction of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and the French Environment Ministry, a complete noise impact study concerning Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports is carried out. On the one hand, a survey of noise annoyance due to aircraft activity around these airports is led through a sounding out of opinion. On the other hand and later on, a complete campaign of 24-hours-a-day measurement of air traffic is carried out around the same previous zones on a total of 36 fixed receiver points. The aim of this work is to establish the correlation between the annoyance perceived by the local residents and the physical characterization of noise expressed through different exposure-to-the-noise indexes which exist at the moment. The results of this survey bring some technical elements able to validate the choice of the future exposure index(es) used in France for the setting up of Noise Annoyance Maps and Noise Exposure Maps around airports.
