The O'Hare School Sound Insulation Program is designed to reduce aircraft sound levels in schools surrounding O'Hare Airport. The goal of the program is to provide schools in the O'Hare area with sound insulation, which may include noise attenuating windows, additional roofing and ceiling insulation, improved doors, and related measures intended to reduce the transmission of noise into schools.

The Mayor and the Department of Aviation are strongly committed to the School Sound Insulation Program and are ready to provide assistance to schools at each stage of the program. Today, 114 O’Hare area schools have been sound insulated at a cost of approximately $260.3 million. There is currently 1 school in the construction phase. Total AIP and PFC disbursements for 115 schools with executed grant agreement is $286.3 Million.
