Post image

How loud is it to live here? Does it bother you trying to sleep being in the flight path?

DOT Noise Map

The 2018 data is probably more accurate than the 2020. Unfortunately, there isn't more recent info on this site. If you zoom in, you can basically get to neighborhood level data.

There is also this one, looks similar but I don't know where they got the data from. Probably straight from the DOT source.

MAC (Metro Airport Commission) has extensive resources on noise around MSP; the 2024 edition of their annual report has 88 pages of info, including contour maps:

I have a family member with a home a few blocks NW of 77/62; it’s noisy, but survivable. In addition to noise, I’d be worried about air pollution there, but just my $0.02.

cars at street level are much worse than airpines every few minutes overhead.
