Not that there's anything wrong with reporting on the same topic by multiple publications, but this article just seems like a poor copy of this WSJ article published in August:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/airplane-noise-complaints-are-s...

Out of curiosity, are there journalistic guidelines about publishing duplicate articles when there are seemingly no new pertinent developments? I haven't seen anything like this before.

Could be the author drumming up the attention, a la celebrities giving basically the same interview on the late-night circuit to promote their newest reboot/sequel.
The button maker probably just sent out a press release that everyone used as the basis for their story.
