N-above (or N-above noise) contours illustrate the average number of aircraft noise events per day that exceed a specified sound level.
The National Airports Safeguarding Framework, suggests that an outdoor sound level of 70 dBA corresponds to an indoor noise level of approximately 60 dBA with the windows open, which is considered to be the sound level at which conversation and other indoor activities can generally be disturbed.
Perth Airport recognises that residents enjoy an outdoor lifestyle during the summer months, which is often reflected in building construction. As a result, Perth Airport has adopted an outdoor sound level of 65dBA for noise modelling, which correlates to an indoor noise level of approximately 55 dBA.
Importantly, the N-above contour map represents an average day and not a typical day. The actual number of flights over your location will vary, with some days experiencing more movements and some days experiencing fewer.
The number of flights varies by the time of day, day of the week and the season. Perth Airport typically experiences morning and afternoon peaks which are larger during the work week as there are more flights servicing fly-in/fly-out and other business-related traffic. The weather and wind direction typically dictate which runways – and therefore flight paths – are used.
The N65 noise contour displayed in the map below illustrates the average number of aircraft noise events per day that exceed 65 dBA in 2024.
The N60 noise contour displayed in the map below illustrates the average number of aircraft noise events per night that exceed 60 dBA in 2024.
Aircraft altitudes vary depending on whether an aircraft is arriving or departing the airport or in level flight. Larger and heavier aircraft departing the airport typically climb slower than smaller lighter aircraft.
The number of flights operating at Perth Airport varies by the time of day, day of the week and the season. The airport typically experiences morning and afternoon peaks which are larger during the work week as there are more flights servicing fly-in/fly-out and other business related traffic.
The number of aircraft near your area at any time will be influenced by both the airport throughput (runway capacity) and the wind, which will dictate which runways and flight paths are used.
The altitude of aircraft can vary due to a number of factors. It can depend on whether the aircraft is landing, taking-off or in flight, the weight and specific performance characteristics of the aircraft, and the type of ground-based or satellite-based navigation aids being used by the pilot. Arrivals typically follow a steady descent to the runway, while departures follow a steeper path as they climb away from the runway. Larger and heavier aircraft departing the airport typically climb slower than smaller lighter aircraft.
In addition, a core function of Air Traffic Control is safety and one of the primary ways in which this is achieved is lateral (horizontal) or vertical separation between aircraft. At higher altitudes, Air Traffic Controllers can vertically separate aircraft by around 1,000ft (304m).

The number and type of flights over your location can vary, even on different days, which is driven primarily by wind direction and hence the operating mode of the airport.
