OpsSky Noise

Description
Specifications

OpsSky Noise is a cloud-based noise monitoring and analysis service designed to help airports measure, understand, and reduce noise impact on surrounding communities.

The service focuses on environmental monitoring, providing airports with objective, data-driven insight into noise events generated by airside and ground operations.

Core Concept

OpsSky Noise continuously collects noise data from sensors and correlates it with operational and positional data to identify noise sources, events, and patterns.

How It Works

  • Noise sensors measure sound levels around the airport.
  • OpsSky Noise processes the data in real time.
  • Noise events are automatically detected when thresholds are exceeded.
  • Each event is registered, classified, and linked to operational activity where possible.
  • Reports and alerts are generated automatically.

Visualization & Reporting

OpsSky Noise provides a dedicated visualization layer that allows users to:

  • View real-time and historical noise levels
  • Identify hotspots and recurring noise events
  • Generate noise pollution reports for internal analysis or regulatory use

Key Benefits

  • Automated noise event detection and reporting
  • Objective data for environmental compliance
  • Better community transparency and trust
  • Support for sustainable airport operations

In Summary

OpsSky Noise delivers Noise Monitoring as a Service, enabling airports to proactively manage environmental impact using accurate, continuously collected data.
