Airservices maintains a short-term noise monitoring program around the greater Brisbane region to:

• support airspace/flight path change reviews with quantitative data, by comparing pre-and-post-change levels
• calibrate noise models
• respond to requests from the Brisbane Airport Community Aviation Consultation Group (BACACG) or other community requests for noise monitoring data in specific areas.

Noise monitors are sited in areas that effectively capture noise data from the aircraft that are the focus of the monitoring program. The decisions on final locations of monitors take into account a number of other factors, including security, licensing, facilities and background noise levels. These decisions are made by Envirosuite (the global noise monitoring specialists contracted by Airservices).

Following deployment of a short-term noise monitor, Envirosuite provide a comprehensive report detailing the findings of the deployment.
