HR 6556 United States House · 118th Congress

SNORE Act of 2023

HR 6556, the SNORE Act of 2023, requires San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to create a program mitigating aircraft noise for nearby residents. The bill mandates SFO to soundproof at least 200 homes annually in areas where excessive noise (measured as 10+ instances of 75 dBA or higher between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.) is recorded. SFO must fund this program using its own revenue (like passenger fees) without typical restrictions, and if it fails to meet the 200-home target, it must remit funds to affected cities for noise mitigation. This directly affects residents near SFO and requires the airport to manage noise reduction through residential soundproofing.
