I live in North Long Beach, CA, where the noise pollution from small airplanes and helicopters is unbearable. Whether it's commercial or law enforcement aircrafts, the noise has been a constant issue since spring of 2022. Despite reaching out to the FAA for assistance, no significant action has been taken - possibly due to understaffing issues.

This isn't just an issue in North Long Beach; it's a nationwide problem that affects countless communities across the country. According to a study by Purdue University, noise pollution can lead to numerous health problems including stress-related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, hearing loss and sleep disruption.

We are calling on all owners of small planes and helicopters - whether they are used for local or federal law enforcement or commercial purposes - to retrofit their aircrafts with noise reduction technology or purchase new ones that come equipped with such features. This is not just about improving our quality of life; it's also about protecting our health.

We urge you to sign this petition demanding mandatory retrofitting of all small aircrafts and helicopters with noise reduction technology. Together we can make our skies quieter and healthier for everyone!
