Civil aviation noise is a major source of public concern - as is evidenced by the strict Commonwealth regulations in place to ensure that aircraft operating in Australia meet noise standards. Public concern around aviation noise in this country first reached fever pitch in the early sixties when Qantas introduced regular jet operations, and has attracted considerable investment and debate since. One possible solution to this issue is outlined in a 2018 academic article titled 'Noise emissions from commercial aircraft', in which the author argues: "Ultimately, the solution to the aviation noise problem is to contain all objectionable noise emissions from commercial aircraft within the boundary of the airport so that the communities around the airport are no longer exposed to high levels of aircraft noise."
