The noise modeling argument is the biggest red herring.  The Navy used the same Federally-approved methodology used by FAA, the Air Force, and has been repeatedly upheld by courts for decades.  Measuring noise only provides peak sound level only at that one spot only when the aircraft is there and only on that day (with those unique atmospherics).  It does not tell us how noise propagates, how different atmospherics affect noise, how different operational levels affect noise, etc.  The DEIS also has numerous points of interest throughout the area to note how loud a single pass would be.  Those results show us that when the aircraft are low and overhead, the aircraft are loud.  Sometimes over 100dB.  We don't need a measurement too tell us what we already know.  The NOISEMAP model is used because it's the only approved one.  If you missed the empirical data in the appendices, that's bc you didn't read it but the data is there.  Be critical but don't mislead.
