In 2011, the Buffalo Niagara International Airport completed the voluntary five year update to the Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Study, which establishes a standard method airport operators can use to analyze the noise created by airport operations. It also creates guidelines for acceptable noise abatement, including aviation and land-use remedies. The Quieter Home Program was the result of the Part 150 Study. BNIA received federal grant funding for this program, which examined and contacted all eligible homes/parcels based on FAA standards. This program, which was completed in 2016, helped mitigate noise for over 1,100 homes, and over 2,600 residents.
