According to an acoustic consultant’s report, the sound would affect about 20 nearby homes and comply with both Canterbury-Bankstown Council requirements and the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s noise guidelines.

The report found the highest predicted noise level would be 53 decibels – roughly equivalent to the sound of a household refrigerator.

Absolutely taking the piss and who did this noise report? Who installs a bunch of speakers for it to output no louder than a refrigerator? for some reason guardian and ABC not talking about this

For 15 minutes?? How about no. The new western Sydney airport is taking tremendous steps to reduce a far lower duration of potential noise pollution each week
