RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM


The Residential Sound Insulation Program is administered by the Community Development Commission (CDC) that provides grants to eligible property owners to sound insulate residential homes and rental units from noise caused by aircraft arriving and departing the Los Angeles International World Airport.

To be eligible for the grants, the property must be located within designated communities of the Lennox, Athens and Del Aire areas. Sound insulation improvements may include replacing windows, exterior doors, attic insulation, vents, electrical panel upgrades, heating ventilation and air conditioning systems and more.

Properties are given priority for sound insulation based on the highest impacted areas first and without building and safety code violations. 

Those properties that within the 75 decibels Community Noise Equivalency Level contour will be required to sign a Noise Easement before participating in the the sound insulation program.

For more information, call (626) 586-1797, (626) 586-1798 or (626) 586-1815.
