PlaneNoise Tracks Complaints
Firm designs and implements empirical aircraft noise complaint measuring, tracking and mapping tools.

Airport noise can be an emotionally volatile issue in municipal politics. However, Robert Grotell thinks data, not emotion, should drive decisions about airport and air route noise abatement.

Grotell is president of PlaneNoise, a firm that designs and implements empirical aircraft noise complaint measuring, tracking and mapping tools being used in the New York and Boston metropolitan and suburban areas as well as Naples, Fla. “We are a small business but we are growing,” he said. During the first week in June, PlaneNoise processed more than 2,700 aircraft noise complaints in the limited markets it currently serves.
