Airport and aviation activities, after it first appearance in 1900s, have elevated the transportation industry to a new height. They are both the country biggest economic engine and connection hotspot, as well as biggest source of environmental and social impact—including noise, CO2 emission, territorial disruption and depreciation of local property. Though, noise is by far the most problematic issues, due to its large area of impact that is closely relate to the health, the urban development and the economics of the surrounding neighborhoods. During the past decades, many researches were conducted on the influence of building on the propagation of various noise source; however, very few are related to annoyance cause by aircraft. Hence, this research aims to explore the extent of influence of building envelop on the propagation of aircraft noise toward both outdoor and indoor area of the residential building. Prior to the main research, the brief literature on the properties of sound, the characteristic of the aircraft noise in comparison to other noise sources, the current aircraft noise abatement policies, and finally, the influence of buildings and urban planning on the propagation of aircraft noise were conducted and briefly explained. The core experiment of this research focused on the influence of different variations of building envelops—these include the roof geometry, facade geometry, construction systems, and materiality—on the propagation of aircraft noise. Several design variations were proposed and simulation for their effectiveness and ineffectiveness to attenuate aircraft noise propagation in an urban area. Two case studies, in Rijsenhout and in Bangkok, were used as a base for the simulation for each variation. Finally, a set of general urban guideline for urban planning will be proposed, as well as a strategy for design a healthier urban environment in the airport regions. Additionally, several sketch designs will be proposed for the two case studies.
