Airports had taken several measures to solve the problems of noise pollution. Noise pollution has a very affective effect on human being. Noise is unwanted sound which can harm people exposed to it physically, psychologically and socially.

The noise abatement strategy in Switzerland is based on three fundamental principles: measures at source, precautionary measures and remediation. The most important legal bases are the Environmental Protection Act and the Noise Abatement Ordinance. Despite numerous road and rail remediation measures, noise remains a widespread problem. Although the measures implemented or planned to date do offer a minimum level of protection, they are still inadequate. The objective of noise abatement is to reduce the excessive noise pollution to a level which is deemed healthy and as far as possible to protect regions which are still peaceful and keep them free from disturbing noise pollution.

They depend on the prevention principle which is intended to limit noise emission at source and to avoid future problems arising in connection with buildings in noisy areas with rooms sensitive to noise. Measures at source, i.e. those applied to the cause of the noise are always to be preferred to those on the exposure
