Noise Gallery
If we have permission to share your video of aircraft noise at your residence, please email us at: planesensewellington@gmail.com.
Additional Tools
Using this website you can view current and past aircraft flight paths. By clicking on the plane icon of a flight you can measure the distance of an individual aircraft at its closest point to your address. You can attach this to your complaint. Visit Webtrack.
Decibel apps
You can search decibel apps on your smart phone to record video of aircraft noise, with decibel readings. This is an app that some of our members have used (although we are not liable for the accuracy of app readings). You can attach videos/noise readings to your complaint.
