    Noticeable aircraft noise

    ANEF (Australian Noise Exposure Forecast) measures the cumulative aircraft noise exposure at a location. Values of 20+ indicate noticeable aircraft noise, 25+ may require noise insulation for new buildings, and 30+ is considered significant for residential areas. Suburb-level data shows contours that intersect the suburb boundary — individual properties may experience different noise levels.
