Aircraft noise measurement February 2023

From 1 February to 1 March 2023, FBB’s mobile measuring station was located in Potsdam South on Ravensberggestell on the premises of Energie und Wasser Potsdam GmbH. Aircraft noise measurements showed a continuous daytime sound level of 27.5 dB(A) and a continuous night-time sound level of 22.3 dB(A).

In Potsdam South, a few take-offs on the north runway were measured in aircraft movements to the west and occasional landings on the south runway in aircraft movements to the east. These take-offs produced a mean maximum level of 57 dB(A) and the landings 58 dB(A).

The continuous sound levels are important for, among other things, determining threshold values for guaranteeing noise protection measures. Rooms used at night are protected from a continuous sound level of 50 dB(A); rooms used during the day from 60 dB(A).

All measured values were clearly below the claim limits for noise protection or compensation measures.
