noise abatement
Lessening unwanted sound
Noise abatement refers to efforts and measures taken to reduce unwanted sound, particularly in environments where noise levels affect quality of life or violate regulations.
The term appears most often in contexts involving aircraft, traffic, and industrial operations.
Airports commonly have noise abatement procedures that restrict flight paths or limit nighttime takeoffs and landings.
The neighborhood association pushed for stronger noise abatement ordinances.
Related measures include soundproofing, buffer zones, and equipment modifications.
