Where does the data come from?
An ADS-B receiver near the park captures transmissions directly from nearby aircraft.
Can I get this for my own area?
The site is built to support other locations, if you'd like to set up a page for your local park, beach, or other public space, you can get in touch at info@noisy.today. Custom set up and data for commercial use is also available.
Does the count include helicopters?
Yes.
What can be done about urban airplane noise?
Noise from low-flying airplanes impacts a lot more than people enjoying the park: many people in NYC, and millions around the world live in homes exposed to "significant" airplane noise, which can have serious health impacts above and beyond simple annoyance.
