The Frankfurt Aircraft Noise Indices developed by the Airport and Region Forum (ARF) calculate the aircraft noise exposure during the day and night in the area around Frankfurt Airport. They take into account the overall landing and take-off situation on the basis of the six busiest months for air traffic. The Frankfurt Aircraft Noise Indices are based on dose-effect relationships that were identified within the framework of studies in the Rhine-Main Region and at Cologne/Bonn Airport.
