Pilot Program for Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Near Airports

This new act establishes a pilot program to help residents living near major airports repair or replace old sound insulation in their homes. It applies to buildings that previously received federal assistance for soundproofing but where the insulation has deteriorated or is no longer effective. The goal is to improve living comfort by reducing aircraft noise inside homes.
Key points
Homeowners near airports may receive assistance for repairing or replacing damaged sound insulation if they meet specific criteria.
The program targets homes that previously received federal soundproofing aid, but whose insulation is ineffective or damaged (e.g., due to low-quality materials or structural issues).
Assistance is available for homes where indoor noise levels still exceed standards, and new insulation can significantly reduce them.
Owners must demonstrate they have exhausted warranty or insurance options, and the original insulation was installed before 2002.
