In several recent instances, community annoyance has resulted from noise of airplanes flying at relatively high altitudes (or relatively far from airports). In none of these instances did the noise levels involved meet the usual criteria for community annoyance or interference with individual activity, either in terms of time-averaged noise levels or single-event noise levels. Five basic concepts are presented on which criteria may be established for assessing intrusiveness of low noise levels generated by aircraft in remote, quiet locations.
