As the Louisville Regional Airport Authority (LRAA) is responsible for operating the airport safely and efficiently, it is also part of our commitment to work with the FAA, airlines, airport users and our neighbors in the community regarding mitigation efforts to minimize airport noise inside residential homes. Working with the FAA and C&S Engineers, the LRAA has developed and implemented the QuieterHome® Program to administer these improvements.
The program offers eligible participants complimentary sound-insulation improvements to reduce aircraft-generated noise within the home. The improvements may include new acoustical windows, prime doors as well as attic and wall insulation. These improvements will allow homeowners to enjoy quieter living within their home while sleeping, watching television, talking on the phone and interacting with family and friends.
The FAA and the LRAA fund the entire cost. The LRAA qualifies (and regularly applies) for federal funds for the program from the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program. FAA funding is from aviation user fees, such as airline tickets and aircraft fuel sales. The airport user fees pay for the LRAA’s share of the program cost. No general tax dollars are used to pay for this program.
The FAA determines eligibility based on the level of aircraft noise impacting the home. The program is implemented in groups based on available funding. Homeowners currently in eligible areas of the Louisville QuieterHome® Program will be contacted by the QuieterHome® project office. If you have questions on program eligibility, please contact the project manager at the number listed below.
