A track event is one recorded aircraft track that passed within the stated distance of the ZIP code's center point. The tracks are ADS-B positions shared by the adsb.lol community, sampled every few seconds, so the counts are close but not exact, and aircraft that don't broadcast ADS-B or fly out of receiver range are missed.
These are counts, not sound measurements, so this page doesn't estimate loudness. Traffic also changes over time: runway use shifts with the wind, and routes change.
