A new ISO standard has been introduced for those living in the vicinity of airports. The new standard, called ISO 20906:2009, Acoustics – Unattended monitoring of aircraft sound in the vicinity of airports will help regulators, professionals and researchers in their effort to reduce noise in the vicinity of airports.

ISO 20906:2009 sets out the requirements for reliable measurement of aircraft sound, and describes a threshold system of sound event recognition in a complex sound environment with multiple aircraft and other sound sources.
