In its mission to expand knowledge and improve aviation, NASA conducts research to address sonic boom noise, the prime barrier to overland supersonic flight. NASA is currently preparing for a community survey campaign to assess response to noise from the new X-59 aircraft. During each community survey, a substantial number of observations must be collected over a limited timeframe to generate a dose response relationship. A sample of residents will be recruited in advance to fill out a brief survey each time X-59 flies over, approximately 80 times throughout a month. In preparation NASA conducted a month-long test of survey methods in 2023. A sample of 800 residents was recruited from a simulated fly-over area. Because there were no actual X-59 fly-overs, respondents were asked about their reactions to noise from normal aircraft operations. The respondents chose whether to fill out the survey on the web or via a smartphone application. Evaluating response rates and how they evolved over time was a specific focus of the test. Also, a graduated incentive structure was implemented to keep respondents engaged. Finally, location data was collected from respondents since it will be needed to estimate individual noise exposure from X-59. The results of this survey test will help determine the design of the community survey campaign.
