Essential app to record and log aircraft noise pollution

ExPlane affiliated with the SchipholWatch group in Amsterdam is the best app to record aircraft noise pollution. We have thousands of local communities in Brisbane affected by excessive noise pollution from Brisbane Airport, and this app allows us to engage in a citizen science project to measure noise levels in far more places than the couple of noise monitors installed by the government. The noise recordings are accurate, no registration is required, the app detects the plane flying above automatically, and the data is open access. Very well done!
