What is the FAA doing to reduce airplane noise?

The FAA actively supports a number of initiatives that have helped reduce the number of people exposed to significant aviation noise. One of these initiatives includes the Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise (CLEEN) program. This program identifies technologies that reduce noise, fuel burn, and emissions. The FAA also works with communities to eliminate or mitigate incompatible land use near airports and provides federal funds to mitigate the adverse impacts of aircraft noise in homes and schools near airports.
