San Francisco International Airport's 'Quiet Airport Policy,' implemented in 2020, aims to reduce unnecessary noise in terminals by 40 percent. The initiative limits music in retail areas and eliminates general gate announcements throughout the terminal, with airlines handling boarding notifications directly at the gates. Travelers have shared mixed reactions on social media, highlighting how mobile apps make constant announcements feel outdated. The policy is designed not only to enhance comfort but also to minimize stress during travel. SFO plans to continue addressing unwanted noise from various sources in the airport.
I love the quiet airport policy at SFO. With mobile apps and alerts, the constant announcements seem antiquated, providing an improved travel experience.
SFO's policy instituted in 2020 limits music in retail environments and ends all gate announcements throughout the terminal, targeting unnecessary noise reduction.
The airport management aimed to reduce stress in the travel process through these noise changes, along with cutting the daily unnecessary announcements by 90 minutes.
The implemented 'Quiet Airport Policy' has resulted in a 40 percent decrease in unnecessary noise, enhancing passengers' comfort and overall airport environment.
