Presentation Description/Abstract
Aircraft noise pollution can cause a myriad of negative effects, from sleep disruption and increased annoyance to decreased cognition and problem-solving ability. This is especially relevant at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). Located right next to an airport producing constant aircraft noise every day, the effects can be felt as far as the ocean, which is located 5 miles away from the airport. Through an intensive literature review, various solutions will be ranked for viability in the Daytona Beach area, and it will be determined which noise mitigation strategy would be the most feasible to implement here. The literature review will be conducted using Google Scholar, and citations will be screened based on credibility of the source and if it underwent a peer review process prior to publication. The solutions will be evaluated based on the mitigation/prevention of noise pollution, their feasibility, and their cost-effectiveness. The aim of this search is to find and evaluate multiple potential solutions that preserve the functionality of the airport while being reasonably economically viable for Daytona Beach and ERAU, as well as decreasing noise pollution to a level at which it is less harmful to life around the airport.
