davis_squareLet me say this first before you call me a whiner - watch the planes on this map for this morning of Friday 12/11: http://www4.passur.com/bos.html
You can replay any point in time with the menu bar at the top, you can even speed it up to 10X. Or you can watch "live" with a 10 minute delay.
Now, if those green planes dont go right over where you live, dont call the rest of us whiners. If they do go right over you, you know what I am talking about. My 5 month old daughter is constantly woken up by these planes and they can rattle the house.
Watch the flow of the planes coming off of runway 33L (the long one that points straight at Chelsea). The vast majority of them bank left and come straight over Davis Square almost every time. How about a little distribution over Harvard Sq, West Cambridge, etc?? Not to mention winds this morning are from the W/SW, not the Northwest.
Now, lets log complaints here: http://www.massport.com/logan/airpo_noise_compl.html

Date: 2009-12-11 06:28 pm (UTC)Personally, I have been woken up early by the plane noise and have had it be loud enough to interrupt conversations in the living room because people couldn't hear each other. Even so, I'm not actually all that bothered by it on the whole, but I have great compassion for those who are. I find it hard to believe that the people who insist it's no big deal (and shouldn't be to anyone) have actually experienced much of the noise the complainers are talking about.
(I was woken up this morning as well, but mostly dozed through it thinking a raging thunderstorm was going on. Very confusing when I noticed how sunny it was.)
