Contact

Please contact Subcommittee Chair Christopher Hobbs for more information or to be included on the Subcommittee e-mail list.

Subcommittee Scope/Topics

The Subcommittee fosters, disseminates, and drives research related to:

    • The measurement and estimation of noise levels from aircraft,

    • Human perception of noise from aircraft, and

    • Possible mitigation techniques to reduce aircraft noise perceived by humans.

Membership

The subcommittees are intended to attract participation from individuals who form the membership group, but TRB subcommittees do not maintain a formal membership roster. In the event that sufficient interest is generated in the topic, the subcommittee may be elevated to function as a task force or a full committee. We encourage participation in the subcommittee from all segments of the aviation industry including educators, researchers, regulators and NGO’s with associated interests.
