1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing routing data that is indicative of a route for an aircraft;
based on the routing data, accessing real-time noise data associated with the route;
accessing data indicative of a noise signature of the aircraft, wherein the data indicative of the noise signature of the aircraft is based on sensor data generated by one or more sensors onboard the aircraft;
computing a changed route for the aircraft based on the real-time noise data associated with the route and the noise signature of the aircraft; and
transmitting, over a network to a computing device associated with the aircraft, a message with instructions to travel according to the changed route.
