i mean, i'm pretty sure there are no homes that have been soundproofed under the fcc or massport's budget are that far away from logan airport. the areas where such soundproofing has happened have been in communities REALLY effected by airplane noise, as they're within one or two miles, directly neighboring the airport. davis square is 5 - 6 miles away, the noise is no different from any other airplane noise 5 - 6 miles away from logan.
i remember being young and waking up to the house rattling, and booming sounds of jet planes overhead. in my mind, that's normal. that is just what it is like growing up. i had no idea until i was older that people in other areas of the boston area the same distance from logan didn't experience this.
i think we should get a little more conceptual and ideal with this and propose that all airports should be in the middle of nowhere, away from densely populated areas.
