New Noise Monitor Operational in Cramond
A second fixed noise monitoring station was installed at Cramond Primary School, further improving the accuracy of our noise contour maps.
In January 2024, a second fixed noise monitoring station was installed at Cramond Primary School, further improving the accuracy of our noise contour maps. This precise mapping is essential for identifying eligible areas for our Insulation Scheme. In addition, this monitor provides valuable educational resources for the school, and we are working with them to incorporate it into STEM learning programs.
Noise levels are measured by our noise monitors located in Cramond, Broxburn and Livingston. The noise monitors in Cramond and Broxburn are located 6.5km from start of roll (the point in the runway where a flight begins its departure movement), and measure both arriving and departing aircraft noise. The noise monitor at Cramond Primary School is closer to the Airport and the aircraft on approach are at a lower altitude than those passing over the monitor at Cramond Manse
