Verified 09 January 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Do you live next to one of the 11 main airports in France and suffer from noise pollution? You can receive financial assistance to soundproof your accommodation (apartment or house). This help also allows you to have an acoustic study of your home carried out. We'll tell you what you need to know.

YesHowever, if you live next to an airport, the airport operator can provide you with financial assistance to soundproof your accommodation (apartment or house).

The airport must be affected by a noise disturbance plan.

The sound disturbance plan (PGS) notes the actual discomfort experienced around the airport by identifying 3 zones (I, II, III). Zone I corresponds to the highest noise level.

You can view noise disturbance maps (PGSs) around airports:

If your request is accepted, the airport operator sends you a registered letter with notice of receipt indicating that you can have an acoustic study of your accommodation carried out.

1-Perform an acoustic study

The acoustic study must be carried out by an acoustician or a specialized study office.

A list is provided in the annex to the decision granting the aid given by the airport operator.

This professional should take stock of your accommodation and define the objectives and solutions to be implemented.

He then prepares a report with an estimate of the cost of the work that he gives you.

The cost of carrying out this study is at your expense. To be reimbursed, you must send the airport operator a copy of the professional report and the invoice for the acoustic study carried out.

This shipment must be made by registered letter with notice of receipt.

2-Request a quote to complete the work

Once you are in possession of the acoustic study, you can request a work estimate from the company of your choice.

You will need to send the estimate by registered letter with notice of receipt to the airport operator.

3-Wait for the aid application to be examined

Once the estimate has been submitted, the request for aid is examined by the Consultative Commission for the Aid of Local Residents. It gives an opinion on the geographical location of the dwelling (PGS area) and the noise intensity.

The airport operator then agrees to grant the aid. This decision is sent to you by mail.

4-Have the work done

Once you have received the letter giving you the aid, you must have the work done within a maximum of 2 years.

You will receive the financial assistance once all the work has been completed and all the invoices have been sent to the airport operator. These invoices must be sent by registered letter with notice of receipt.
