The first tests of the F-35 noise impact on residents near the two bases that will house them are in. Measuring equipment near the airfield showed 109dB peak for the F-35, with 112dB for the F-16. Both aircraft made 14 passes, 7 in the morning and 7 in the evening with and without afterburner.
They also asked people living in the area to fill out an online survey on perceived noise for both aircraft. They had around 1500 responses, the majority showed that the perceived noise of the F-35 was lower than the whine of the F-16 engine.
