Characteristics of community responses to airport noise around Bangkok International Airport

A social noise survey is a study of the community's response to noise. Data from a 2014-2015 noise survey of communities living around Bangkok International Airport is considered a spatial study that is important for the long-term planning of the airport development plan to prevent noise problems from aircraft operations. This paper presents the nature of survey data on airport noise from people living around Suvarnabhumi Airport over a decade after the airport's opening in 2006. It is now planned to expand the airport's capacity to handle more air traffic volume through runway expansion and passenger terminal expansion. The cross-sectional study is thought to be useful in future airport noise planning to avoid severe aircraft noise problems. In addition, it was an appropriate time to collect data from the field as a baseline for future airport noise management before expanding the capacity to handle more air traffic by adding more runways and passenger terminals.
