The airport's Noise Programs Office works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the airlines and the local communities to monitor existing noise programs and develop new ways of reducing airport and aircraft noise.

The FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 6 was used to model the flight operations contours at King County International Airport (KCIA).

In June 1951 four runways were at 45-degree angles, between 5,000 and 6,100 feet (1,500 and 1,900 m) long; the northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast runways intersected just west of the north-south runway that eventually became today's runway 34R. In the middle, where concourses converge, there is the "central terminal", an area with no passenger boarding gates, but several restaurants and retail stores. An airport might be noisy and the neighborhoods surrounding it will be affected by the noise, but are they all affected equally? The new IAF will be connected to the south satellite by a 900-foot-long bridge (aerial walkway) that will take passengers 85 feet above the existing airplane taxiway and over the top of Concourse A.

The goal is to provide reliable and consistent data to measure the success of noise reduction strategies. The Port of Seattle worked with Landrum & Brown to update its Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), last completed in 2002. The office has two primary focuses: sound insulation programs and noise abatement programs.Residents can request information about SEA-related aircraft noise and operations, learn more about noise insulation or report aircraft noise by e-mail at The Seattle-Tacoma Airport Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) is a way for the communities of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, SeaTac and Tukwila to engage with Port of Seatt...

The King County International Airport-Boeing Field Noise Management Program is a comprehensive program that provides actual measurement of aircraft noise levels in our surrounding neighborhoods.

The Port of Seattle operates a system of 24 noise monitors located throughout the greater Seattle area. We collect data from six monitors in nearby neighborhoods to assist in this effort.With this new system, there is also a new Noise Hotline number: In addition to the PlaneNoise system, the Noise Management Program now includes a tool, We welcome your feedback on these new systems. The Vision 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (Public Law 108-176) required ** This column identifies whether the airport has prepared a noise exposure map under part 150. The technology is part of a strategy to reduce the presence of wildlife on the airfield.Seattle–Tacoma has 80 gates on four concourses and two satellite buildings.The main terminal building is laid out in an "X" shape, with the four concourses forming a different arm. For about three years, Batayola has been organizing Beacon Hill residents to combat noise pollution from the nearby Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The central terminal is also the site of the airport's five The two satellite terminal buildings, named the north and south satellite, are connected to the four concourses in the main terminal by a three-line automated people mover system called the All international arrivals (except flights from cities with In 2019 the Port of Seattle announced plans to allow a limited number of daily non-passengers to enter the post-security zone.The site of Sea–Tac was chosen partly due to its location along The Port of Seattle offers paid on-site parking in a 13,000-space garage, notable for being North America's largest parking structure under one roof.The airport is served by door-to-door shuttle services (Shuttle Express and Speedi Shuttle) and several scheduled airporter bus services. The project was initially expected to be completed by 2021 at a cost of $766 million.After the new IAF opens, the South Satellite will continue to be used for arriving international flights; additional international gates will be added in Concourse A, nearly doubling the number of gates capable of serving larger wide-body aircraft. Runway 34 was lengthened to 7500 ft in 1951, to 8500 ft by 1958, and to 11900 ft by 1962.
