Cities can pass all the aircraft noise ordinances they want but their
enforcement ability is zero.

Pull your head out of your ass. The owner of the airport can do pretty
much anything they want. Look at John Wayne in the LA area for a prime
example.


A private airport can do pretty much what it wants. Any airport that has
accepted FAA AIP grants has to do what the FAA says,

No wrong. Noise policies are always at the discretion of the owner of
the airport. The FAA has no jurisdiction over noise policies and never
gives money and then says..."Well you can have this grant, but only if
you don't have any noise abatement procedures."


and the FAA says no
noise regulations.

The FAA has never said any such thing. If they did we wouldn't have
some of the goofed up rules we do. Are you saying John Wayne doesn't
take AIP money?
