GOALS- Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, the Department of Aviation, and the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (“ONCC”) are strongly committed to the Residential Sound Insulation Program. The Residential Sound Insulation Program aims to reduce the impact of aircraft noise in homes surrounding O'Hare International Airport. The goal of the program is to make it easier for the highest impacted homeowners surrounding O’Hare to talk on the phone, watch TV, listen to music, take a nap, or have a conversation in their own homes. By properly sound insulating these single-family homes, homeowners not only gain a quieter interior, but may also benefit from long-lasting improvements and increased efficiency in their heating and cooling utilities.
