How it works

We count planes; you decide. OverMe shows what flies over each neighborhood, how low, and roughly how loud. It is not a complaint service and not a noise monitor.

Counting

Aircraft broadcast their position (ADS-B). The ADSBiq network of receivers collects those positions. An overflight counts for a neighborhood when the aircraft's closest point of approach is within 1.5 nautical miles (slant distance) of the neighborhood center and below 5,000 ft above ground. Aircraft without ADS-B, and very low aircraft far from any receiver, can be missed. That's why more home sensors help.

Estimated noise

For each overflight we estimate the peak sound level (dBA) at the neighborhood center from the aircraft class (airliner, business jet, turboprop, piston, helicopter), the slant distance, and whether it was climbing or descending. Sound falls about 6 dB per doubling of distance, plus some loss in the air. We also estimate each event's sound exposure (SEL).

The daily score

The score combines a day's events like the FAA's day-night average sound level (DNL): events between 10 pm and 7 am count 10 dB more. A score 10 points higher means about ten times the sound energy. All figures are estimated.

Privacy

We never show a sensor's location or anyone's address. Address search is used once to find your neighborhood and is not stored. Private aircraft appear by type only. "Measure this plane" computes a sound level on your phone; no audio is recorded or uploaded. See the privacy policy.
