Dash-8-400 Noise

Our cabin is designed for reduced noise and vibration to improve the passenger experience 

• The aircraft is equipped with the “Active Noise & Vibration Suppression” system (ANVS) 

  • The system works like noise-canceling headsets, making our cabin as quiet as the popular jet aircraft operating today 

  • Includes computer activated tuned vibration absorbers which provide out-of-phase counter vibration 

• Advanced propeller electronic control for precision synchrophasing and reduced noise 

• System is supplemented by passive noise & vibration reduction from “soft-mounted” bins, acoustic curtains, etc 

Our aircraft is one of the quietest commercial airliners in operation today (Outside Noise) 

• The Dash 8-400 is the only regional aircraft certified to ICAO Chapter 14, the most stringent noise emission standards
