Homes in Boca Raton to Have Noise-Reduced Interiors near Airport

Residents who live near Boca Raton Airport soon may not have to deal with the loud noise of planes landing and taking off.

Authorities at the South Florida airport are offering the Boca Raton Airport Quieter Home Program to homes that are plagued with the heavy sound of aircraft traffic. The plan will include the installation of soundproof interiors in at least thirty-five homes that are affected the most.

The program offered will not cost homeowners any money, according to the Boca Raton Airport Authority.

Boca Raton homes near the airport that are affected by 65 decibel noise levels may be chosen for the program. The Federal Aviation Administration plans on reducing the sound levels in these houses by 45 decibels.

The project is estimated to be around $1.2 million for now. More houses may be included in the plan in the future.
