Subject: Fleet Week aircraft noise — Alameda resident concern

Review and edit your email

To whom it may concern,

My name is [Your Name], and I live in [Your Neighborhood], Alameda. I’m writing to express concern about aircraft noise during Fleet Week air shows and practice flights.

The sudden, repeated aircraft noise is disruptive in my neighborhood. It can interrupt work, conversations, and rest, startle pets and children, and be distressing for residents who are sensitive to loud noise. Please take residents’ experiences into account when planning future Fleet Week events.

Please work with event organizers and aviation partners to reduce noise exposure in residential neighborhoods, limit the duration and repetition of noisy demonstrations and practice flights where feasible, provide clear advance notice of flight windows, and evaluate quieter alternatives. Please also provide an accessible way for residents to share feedback and explain how that feedback will inform future planning. Our community is asking for help to make Alameda quieter during Fleet Week while preserving opportunities to honor service members and bring the community together.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
