CHICAGO (CBS) — A North Side woman who convinced the city to install an official noise monitor at her home, 10 miles away from O’Hare International Airport, said the jet noise it measured would qualify her for soundproofing, but she lives too far away.

WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision not to conduct a new environmental impact study – as demanded by some lawmakers and activists due to skyrocketing noise complaints resulting from new flight patterns – means people like Judy Simpson must wait until 2025 for relief, when it will conduct a new study of the noise and pollution impact from new runway configurations.

“The noise monitor proved what I knew, but not what I want to be living under,” she said.
