Noise Management

YVR is dedicated to serving our community and the economy that supports it. As Canada’s second busiest airport and a facility that operates 24/7, we recognize community concerns about aircraft noise and the need for safe, convenient air travel.

General Causes of Airport Noise

  • Aircraft take-offs
  • Aircraft landings
  • Engine run-ups (post-maintenance engine tests)
  • Ground service equipment

Noise Management Program

To manage noise and our community commitments, our aeronautical noise management program includes:

  • Aeronautical Noise Management Committee (ANMC) consultations
  • A five-year Noise Management Plan
  • Noise abatement procedures
  • Noise monitoring and flight tracking system
  • Noise concern management and response system
