Intercity air transportation has grown rapidly in recent decades and creates significant noise pollution that affects health. Previous research quantifies the losses that are capitalized into home values. Much research relies heavily on spatially restrictive noise contour plots to identify the house price discounts and determine economic damages. We break new ground by investigating whether residential noise complaints can offer insights on aircraft noise pollution and housing price impacts experienced by residents near Minneapolis-Saint-Paul International Airport outside of contour boundaries. Our findings indicate noise complaints are a reliable measure of residential noise annoyance and have a significant adverse effect on home prices extending nearly twice as far (10 km) as contours. Reevaluating economic damages based on our results indicates contour-based calculations severely underestimate aircraft-noise-pollution-induced losses incurred by homeowners and suggests $154 million of $167 million in post-abatement damages are borne by residents located outside the regulated Minneapolis contour area.

近几十年来，城际航空运输发展迅速，并造成严重的噪音污染，影响健康。先前的研究量化了资本化为房屋价值的损失。许多研究严重依赖空间限制性噪声等值线图来确定房价折扣并确定经济损失。我们通过调查住宅噪音投诉是否可以提供有关明尼阿波利斯 - 圣保罗国际机场附近居民在等高线边界外所经历的飞机噪音污染和房价影响的见解，从而开辟了新天地。我们的研究结果表明，噪音投诉是衡量住宅噪音烦恼的可靠指标，并且对房价有显着的不利影响，影响范围几乎是等高线的两倍（10 公里）。
