Questions
Should people living near an airport be compensated for the noise generated?
If so, how much?

Reno-Tahoe Airport
1417 homes were observedNoise levels were taken in deciblesOverall quality of houses were recorded,
including selling price

Map was created:

A hedonic equation was used to calculate the new price of the house including the noise nuisance:
P = β0 + βnNoise + βDDistance +∑ β1Xi + u
Where β0 is a constant termNoise is the noise level within a certain contour Distance is valued in milesXi is all of the external variables

Results:

Conclusion:
Noise and Distance both have a negative impact on property values for the Reno-Tahoe Airport

Manchester AirportVery similar setup to the Reno-Tahoe study
568 homes observedSimilar external house variables added to
equation
Leq was used in place of overall decibelsObserves the excess noise energy made by the
airport excluding the background noise

Graphically the results look like this:

Conclusion:
Noise, like the Reno-Tahoe study, has a negative impact on property values
Proximity, however, has a positive impact on property values
![Page 13: Airports: Noise vs. Proximity Alexander Knapp Econ 439 3/12/2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649dc75503460f94abc02b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What does this mean for policy makers?
Reno-Tahoe Study?Placing tougher noise policies could increase
property value
Manchester Study?Placing tougher noise policies could cause
flight delays and eventually stunt the growth of the surrounding area
Must be looked at on a case by case bases

Zurich airport to pay $160,000 USD to one homeowner19,000 more lawsuits could follow
In 2008 the Minneapolis Airport was forced to provide noise mitigation for 9,560 homes totaling $127 million
Oakland CA. the Port of Oakland agreed to insulate 200 homes if the city would drop the lawsuit preventing an airport expansion
