NASA has announced a new project to collect information about how people respond to noise from advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. This study, called the VANGARD test, will explore how noise from AAM aircraft, which might fly closer to homes, affects people differently, depending on factors like ambient noise levels and flight phases. NASA invites public comments on this initiative, which aims to improve understanding of AAM aircraft noise without impacting current or future aircraft operations. The research will involve participants rating their annoyance to aircraft noise through an online platform.
Simple Explanation
NASA wants to learn how loud new flying vehicles are when they pass by homes. They invite people to tell them what they think about the loudness through an online survey.
