# Heathrow Airport noise complaint every five minutes

![](https://github.com/BBC-Data-Unit/Heathrow-noise/blob/master/Heathrow%20noise%20complaints%20by%20area.png)

In October 2016 we [reported that Heathrow Airport receives a noise complaint on average every five minutes](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37803205). The data was scraped using Google Spreadsheets' `IMPORTHTML` function from [Heathrow operational data](http://heathrowoperationaldata.com/).

## Get the data

* [Heathrow complaints - Google spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H2en8RdcFiQKvsHr_-uOEN7IOHGV9k_NObOXHl2NtQs/edit#gid=0)

* [Heathrow complaints - CSV](https://github.com/BBC-Data-Unit/Heathrow-noise/blob/master/Heathrow%20complaints%20-%202016.csv)

## Visualisation

* Bar chart: Heathrow noise complaints by area, July to Sep 2016
