Spurred by frustration from Los Angeles area residents, California congressmen are advocating for a provision on helicopter noise to be included in a 2014 spending bill.

Last May, the Federal Aviation Administration released a 56-page document analyzing the noise caused by helicopters in the area, but failed to enforce any regulations. The FAA only made recommendations on how the communities could work with helicopter operators.

Residents say efforts to find a viable solution are taking too long, and little agreement is being reached between pilots and residents. Without regulations, neighborhood leaders are concerned the helicopters used by tourists, news media, and the police will continue to fly freely over their homes.
