A large airport can have a negative environmental and health-related impact on neighbouring communities, due to aircraft induced noise exposure and air pollution. The impact of aviation on neighbouring communities could be mitigated by different methods of home insulation, a solution often provided by airports. A survey was conducted for residents living nearby Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to study the relation between aircraft annoyance and perception to aviation and home insulation. A comparison is also made to other typical noise sources residents experience both inside and outside of their home, such as noise from neighbours, road traffic noise, industry noise, and home appliances. Initial results show no relation between the amount of isolation methods someone applied in their home and aircraft annoyance. However, a positive relation was found between more isolation methods applied at someone’s home and aviation perception. Furthermore, residents experience more annoyance from aircraft noise than industry noise and the noise of home appliances. This difference was not found between aircraft noise and road noise, or noise from neighbours. Further analyses revealed that residents living in areas with aircraft noise exposure above 45dB Lden experience more aircraft annoyance than residents exposed to less than 45dB Lden.
