Summary/Abstract: The following text presents issues related to the protection of the environment against the aircraft noise. The subjects of the survey are the Copernicus Airport Wroclaw- Starachowice and the local population. The main aim is to determine the effect of activities undertaken by the Wroclaw Airport towards noise reduction, and to examine their real-life practicality. The objective was to investigate the noise nuisance by the means of a survey conducted among the airport locals. The main topics of the research are included in three questions, namely: What is the level of noise caused by the Copernicus Airport? What are the airport actions in order to minimalize the noise level? How is the noise evaluated by residents of the airport area? Research methodology is based on the assumption that the actions undertaken by the Wroclaw Airport aim to reduce the level of aircraft noise..
