Airservices collects noise and operational data from six noise monitors (Environmental Monitoring Unit, EMU) around Perth Airport. Noise monitors are listed below according to their location.
CANNINGTON (EMU 1)
Captures arrivals to Perth Runway 03 and departures from Perth Runway 21.
EMU 1 and EMU 2 are overflown by similar aircraft. However, EMU 2 is located closer to, and aligned with, Runway 03/21, which results in it recording higher noise levels.

QUEENS PARK (EMU 2)
Captures arrivals to Perth Runway 03 and departures from Perth Runway 21.
Along with EMU 5 (Guildford), EMU 2 records the highest noise levels of all the noise monitors in Perth – these two noise monitors are closest to the end of the runways.

GREENMOUNT (EMU 4)
Captures arrivals to Perth Runway 24 and departures from Perth Runway 06.
The seasonal variation in the use of Runway 06/24 is reflected in the values recorded at this monitor.

GUILDFORD (EMU 5)
Captures arrivals to Perth Runway 21 and departures from Perth Runway 03.
Together with EMU 2, EMU 5 records the highest levels of all the noise monitors in Perth. These two monitors are closest to the end of runways and are overflown by both arrivals and departures.

BEECHBORO (EMU 37)
Captures departures from Perth Runway 03.
Noise levels at EMU 37 are lower than at other noise monitors due to it being further from the end of a runway. This noise monitor is set only to capture those departures from Runway 03 that turn to the west.

LATHLAIN (EMU 40)
Captures arrivals to Perth Runway 06 and departures from Perth Runway 24.
The noise levels at EMU 40 are generally low, due to it being aligned with the cross-runway (06-24) at Perth Airport which is used much less than the main runway.

Noise monitoring is not conducted to determine compliance with aircraft noise regulations – there is no regulated maximum level for aircraft noise. Rather, aircraft operating in Australia are required to meet noise standards imposed through the Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations 2018. These regulations stipulate compliance with international noise standards that apply to the design and production of aircraft, and specify the amount of noise that may be emitted by an aircraft type or model. Aircraft that do not meet these standards are prohibited from engaging in air navigation in Australia unless exceptional circumstances apply. This is administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.
Noise monitoring is conducted to:
determine the contribution of aircraft noise to the overall noise that a community is exposed to
provide information to the community about aircraft noise and operations
help local authorities make informed land use decisions
inform estimates of the impact of changes to air traffic control procedures
validate noise modelling
inform the determination of aircraft noise policy by government and assist in the implementation of legislation.
More information is available on the Monitoring Aircraft Noise page.
