Since 1996, we have added four new terminals to our network of permanent noise
monitoring terminals (NMTs). Sixteen NMTs collect data throughout the Lower Mainland
and send it back to airport computers.
We are able to monitor aircraft noise in the community at all times of day and relate it to specific aircraft types.

While the average monthly noise levels at each NMT vary, the annual average has
remained relatively constant for those NMTs located close to aircraft landing and take-off
flight paths. NMT data is available through other reports issued by the Airport Authority
Environment Department.
