Census finds neighborhood noise as top complaint in U S
The 1974 housing survey shows 49.2 percent of American households complain about neighborhood noise, with traffic and airport sounds cited most. Only 2.1 million households plan to move. 82 percent rate neighborhoods good or excellent. EPA officials note rising awareness, but major fixes depend on local action and FAA oversight for aircraft noise.
