Winooski, VT Noise Levels

Winooski, VT: what the federal noise map shows

Winooski, VT reads 57.5 dB(A) on BTS's 24-hour average, inside HUD's "Acceptable" noise zone, 65 dB(A) day-night average or below under 24 CFR 51.104, the federal government's own line for building housing with no extra sound attenuation required. Aircraft drives that number here, not the other two sources. That figure is sampled at one coordinate, the Census Bureau's own internal point for Winooski, not a street-by-street survey of the whole place.

What this means for a house here

Aircraft noise is intermittent and lower-frequency, which is why FAA’s Part 150 program funds whole-envelope sound insulation for homes inside an airport’s own mapped noise contour rather than relying on window replacement alone.
