Van Nuys Airport has addressed aircraft nighttime noise; but police helicopter's louder, more persistent, hovering over neighborhoods is indicative of increased criminal activity.
In an effort to reduce nighttime aircraft operations at Van Nuys Airport (VNY) and aircraft noise affecting local communities, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) created the voluntary Quieter Nights Program (QDP). This program is separate and in addition to the existing mandatory nighttime noise curfew currently in effect at VNY. For information on other noise restrictions, click here.
