NOISE MONITORING SYSTEM

The airport has a new Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) with fourteen noise monitors permanently placed in locations throughout Washoe County. Portable noise monitors will supplement the fixed monitors and provide backup for maintenance. The new ANOMS will monitor aircraft operations including flight tracks, runway use, and activity levels while monitoring aircraft generated noise levels and automate noise contour development. For more information please contact Mark Cameron, Manager of Airport Noise Program, at noise.abatement@renoairport.com.
